Downingtown Area School District (DASD) has announced a public hearing regarding the potential sale of district-owned property in Uwchlan Township. The 240-acre property is located along Lionville Station Road and is currently home to three dilapidated homes and four deteriorating farm structures. The property is divided between two zoning districts, with about 225 acres in the Planned Industrial Commercial (PIC) District and 15 acres in the Rural Residential (RR) District. DASD is seeking court approval to sell the property to Rockwell Downingtown LLC for a sum of $64 million. The sale is proposed under the terms outlined in an agreement of sale, which will be presented at the hearing. The hearing is set to take place on Thursday, May 29, at 1:30 p.m. in the Chester County Justice Center, 201 W. Market St. in West Chester. More information on the sale of the property, known as the Siemens/Lionville Station Farm land parcel, can be found on the DASD website.
