CVS Coming to Whitemarsh

The Whitemarsh Board of Supervisors approved a resolution that will bring a new CVS to the corner of Skippake and Butler Pikes at its meeting on Thursday.

The conditional land development approval resolution granted variances and waivers to a project that has been before zoning and planning committees in the township since 2009, according to Mark Jonas, the attorney representing the project.

“It has been a long time coming,” he said. “A lot of people are very enthusiastic about the revitalization of the site. This site has really been under the microscope and [the final plan] represents a number of discussions.”

The supervisors approved the resolution unanimously.

“You guys have come up with a fabulous plan for that corner,” supervisor David Brooke said. “Full speed ahead as far as I’m concerned.”

Supervisor Sara Erlbaum was similarly enthusiastic about the project.

“I want to applauded our boards and commissions who worked hard to bring this to us,” she said. “This project is really revitalizing a neighborhood that needs it.”

The resolution grants permission for the applicant to being construction on the property.
