BUTLER TWP — The township commissioner approved a development request from AERCO, a heavy-equipment rental company, for Old Plank Road near Litman Road, the site of a former Butler Township fire station.

Jonathan Garczewski, project engineer for Gateway Engineers, said the parcel of land had been rezoned as a commercial property, allowing for a business to operate there.

According to Garczewski, the company will rent equipment strictly for commercial businesses, not for the general public. The business will have two driveways along Old Plank Road, and will be open from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.
