ADAMS TWP — Township supervisors gave tentative approval to a new development, pending decisions on floodplain status by the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Rightmeyer Estates would be at the intersection of Glade Run Road and Davidson Road.

A hearing was held last week to discuss the planned residential development, which would contain 30 homes. Some residents spoke up at the previous meeting over concerns that the development may be in a flood plain.

Residents returned to the Board of Supervisors meeting Monday to voice their concerns.

“Glade Run has flooded, sometimes egregiously, in the past, and it will flood in the future,” said Adams resident Lisa Chodkowski on Monday. “According to current weather trends, it will probably flood worse in the future. Do you want that to be your legacy, that those homes were built, and an egregious flooding event happened and there was a catastrophe in the township?”
