The township supervisors have scheduled a hearing for 5:30 p.m. on June 17, to consider conditional use applications for the construction of semi-detached residential duplexes as well as a five-acre solar farm installation. The meeting, which will include time for public comments, comes as the rural municipality just outside Waynesboro evaluates the potential impacts of the projects on land use, infrastructure, and community character.
