ADAMS TWP — The board of supervisors approved filing litigation Monday against a shopping plaza in the Adams Ridge development, after “multiple township ordinance violations,” according to chairman Russell Ford.

“This evening we will be starting legal action on Adams Shoppes, which is the Adams Ridge plan,” Ford said. “The reason we want to bring this to the public tonight, to let you know, is we have received numerous phone calls from residents in Adams Ridge and in that area, but also from the commercial properties that have been there for years.”

While Ford said he could not disclose the nature of the violations, residents have addressed the plaza’s state of disrepair at previous board of supervisors’ meetings. He said the township has attempted to work with the developer concerning the violations for over two years to no avail.
