TREDYFFRIN, PA — Construction of a park on a long-embattled Tredyffrin site is set to begin, according to township officials.
New park features and upgrades are coming to 355 Chase Rd. — the former home of the Picket Post facility — officials said.
Work was scheduled to start Wednesday and take place fro 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays. The restoration project is expected to be completed in late 2026, according to the township.
The 5-acre property had long been abandoned and was at the center of legal disputes in the township.
Three years ago, the developer demolished a barn on the property that was built in 1890.
The developer had purchased the property hoping for a zoning change that would allow for upscale condos on the site. But the township denied the zoning change at the site, zoned for rural conservation, according to Savvy Main Line.
Tredyffrin's Board of Supervisors voted last year for the township to seize the property through eminent domain.
