With long awaited expectancy, the PA Department of Environmental Protection has finally approved Oxford Area Sewer Authority's Act 537 Plan. This is a timely development, now that both the Shoppes of Lower Oxford and the WalMart SuperCenter construction is well underway. Commercial and Residential development has been at a standstill since around 2004. The expansion will be conducted in several phases. The first phase will include a 39.4 million gallon storage lagoon. Phase two will increase the capacity of the system to 770,000 gallons per day. The final phase will include a mechanical treatment plant, further increasing volume and capability. The USDA is providing the fund source for the loan for this project to the tune of $27 million. At the completion of this project, it is expected that the system will sustain growth for a twenty year period.
Beiler-Campbell Commercial's own Shoppes of Lower Oxford will be one of the beneficiaries of the expansion. The 12,000SF free-standing retail center is nearing completion. There is 3,900SF still available for lease in that building. Two pad sites will be developed in addition to this, creating an inviting neighborhood retail location with easy on easy off accessibility to the Route 1 corridor.
