Good News For Township Residents
January 11, 2024
Judge Murray's decision is a WIN for good government and the residents of Palmer Township.
The decision of the court stated :
“We conclude that the decision of the Board of Supervisors of the Township of Palmer to deny the conditional use application is based on substantial evidence. This standard is met when there is "such relevant evidence as a reasonable mind might accept as adequate to support a conclusion." EQT Production Company v. Borough of Jefferson Hills, 652 A.3d 1010, At 1025(Pa. 2019). Appellant Greystone Capital Inc. did not meet its burden of proving otherwise that it's application for conditional use satisfies the requirements for the subject zoning ordinance. Specifically, Appellant failed to adequately identify the end users and type of activity at the proposed property. With regard to these two issues, Appellant's evidence was speculative. Furthermore, Appellant failed to show that the proposed facility would comply with the noise control requirements under Section 190-158 of the subject ordinance.”

Welcome To Palmer Township
Palmer Township is a community of approximately 22,300 people located near Easton, on the eastern end of the greater Lehigh Valley. Palmer prides itself in being a planned community for the last 55 years, and as a result, we have a mixture of home types, industrial centers and shopping facilities that meet most of the needs of our residents.
Palmer Township is located on the eastern side of Pennsylvania near the Delaware River and close to New Jersey. We are approximately 60 miles from both New York City and Philadelphia. In fact, many of our residents work in eastern New Jersey and New York (more).
