A local developer is proposing a mixed-use development on 14.5 acres in Drexel Hill. Greg Lingo, owner of Delaware County-based Rockwell Development Group, came before the Upper Darby Township Planning Commission with conceptual plans to develop a wooded property next to Collingbrook United Methodist church between State Road and Township Line Road. Current zoning allows for 56 single-family homes on the property, but Lingo also mentioned a second idea that would include mixed use and a zoning change. The entrance to the development would be directly across from the Drexelline ShopRite and would have shopping and its own parking. The plan would include 69 conventional townhomes, 42 interlocking townhomes and 40 apartments above businesses. A pocket park and nature trail would be included. While Planning Commission Chair Debbie Nifong noted the mixed use plan has something for everyone, Commission Member Lee Ann Jordan expressed a desire to preserve what little open space exists in Upper Darby.
