More Details On Proposed Wawa In Newtown Township

A proposed Wawa in Newtown Township would have fuel pumps and a 5,585 square-foot convenience store, according to a copy of the application obtained by Patch ahead of Monday's meeting on the proposal.

The Wawa is proposed at the Newtown Bypass and Lower Silver Lake Road. The applicant, developer Provco Pinegood Aquisitions, is seeking to put the Wawa on a privately owned parcel across the street from Crossing Community Church.

The plan includes 58 parking spots with entry and exit off Lower Silver Lake Road. The parcel is currently zoned office research. The proposed use would be retail store with service station.

Last year, Township Supervisor Phil Calabro's pitched an idea for the township to lease or sell two acres of Silver Lake Park, which is also located off the Bypass, to Wawa or another similar convenience store chain. This proposal is completely unrelated to that, Supervisor Jen Dix noted.

"It should be emphasized that this is not being proposed on a township park but on private property that is not even adjacent to the park," Dix said.

Monday's meeting starts at 7 p.m. at 100 Municipal Dr, Newtown.
