It has just been brought to my attention that the farmland around The Oley Turnpike Dairy will be going on the market within the next couple of weeks.  As some of you know, Oley Turnpike Dairy was recently sold which included the Ice Cream Place, and the petting zoo.  From what I understand, Greth Homes has interest in buying the surrounding land, and M.B. Investments was another one floating around as well along with Toll Brothers.  Some early proposals include residential housing, and an amusement center similar to Family Grand Prix on Route 61.

Now I’m all for economic growth and development as long as it is done responsible which would include taking into account  possible bottlenecks along Route 73, and Route 662, and Route 562.  If these things are not taken into account, we will see congestion that makes Route 222 North look like a breeze.

Stay tuned as more information develops.
