Shenandoah Woods Demolition 'Well Underway' In Warminster

WARMINSTER, PA —The demolition of Shenandoah Woods is moving along.

Township supervisors inspected the scene this week at the abandoned Navy development to pose with a construction truck and the demolition contractor and to see the progress of the $1.7 million project.

"The Board of Supervisors is happy to report demolition of the housing at Shenandoah Woods is well underway," the township posted on its website Thursday. "Thank you to the Bucks County Redevelopment Authority for being our partners in this important project.”

Supervisors Kenneth Hayes, Katherine Frescatore and Judy Hoover donned hardhats and posed for pictures in front of an excavator.

Township Manager Tom Scott had informed supervisors at its meeting two weeks ago that the Shenandoah Woods demolition project had been launched.

One week later, township officials issued a warning for people to avoid trespassing on the property.

The project was approved to be razed in 2012.

The vacant development was designated a blighted area in 2011 by the Bucks County Redevelopment Authority and Warminster planning commission, given the area’s inadequate planning, faulty street layout and economically undesirable land use.

In late July, Beinke Wrecking was awarded the bid by supervisors.

Township officials have not announced what will be developed at the site.

Some residents commented on Facebook that they hoped it would be transformed into a splash park for children.
