Palmer Zoning Validity Challenge

In Summer of 2021, the owners of the Palmer Tract began mounting a legal challenge to the Worcester Township Zoning code.

Their aim is to have the 55 acre Palmer Property on the corner of  Valley Forge Road and Skippack Pike rezoned from the existing mix of 48 acres residential and 7 acres limited commercial, to entirely commercial. They may be able to develop the property with one or more of the following uses: hotels, supermarkets & department stores, research facilities, clinics, and indoor recreation facilities

 The Zoning Challenge, if approved, would worsen traffic, bring overdevelopment to the center of Worcester, and disregard the Township's interest in thoughtfully developing Center Point Village in a way that is consistent with our community's special rural & historic character.

Will the Palmer’s 55 acre property be rezoned entirely Commercial?
