The Middletown Township Planning Commission was expected to review the Outrigger Industrial LLC plans to subdivide a 35-acre parcel from the Franklin Mint Redevelopment project to build a 330,000-square-foot warehouse, but the hearing has been pushed back to Tuesday, May 13, at 7 p.m. The project just south of the Pennsylvania State Police barracks would include truck and employee parking. Outrigger initially proposed a 380,000-square-foot building but has scaled back and asked for a time extension for the proposal. A group of citizens called No Warehouse in Middletown has circulated a petition among neighbors that has received nearly 1,200 signatures opposing the warehouse. Residents say the proposal would add hundreds of tractor-trailers per day to township roads, worsen air pollution that is already out of compliance with EPA guidelines, and add 15 acres of impermeable land, threatening wetlands. Residents said the roads are woefully underbuilt for the additional traffic.
