Hammerstein Property Proposal To Be Presented Tuesday

A proposal for the Hammerstein Property is on the agenda for Tuesday's Doylestown Township Supervisors meeting.

According to the agenda, the meeting will feature a presentation of a project proposal for the property on East Road.

The Hammerstein Property is where famed librettist Oscar Hammerstein II lived and wrote many of his songs. His grandson, Will Hammerstein, is seeking to build a museum and theater on the property.

Tuesday's proposal is an informal review of a plan for the museum use only, said Doylestown Township Manager Stephanie Mason.

A $20 million plan submitted in 2014 that sought to construct a 400-seat venue on the five-acre lot was denied due to traffic and noise concerns, according to a Playbill report.

Tuesday's meeting gets underway at 7 p.m. at the public meeting room on Wells Road.
