The former school site and surrounding neighborhood often deal with flooding. Nate Fox, an attorney for DR Horton, said the original goal was single-family homes, but the property dimensions and feedback led to changes. The developer is looking to built twin homes, a total of 88 units, at the site that backs up to Silver Lake Park. The McGrath team said residents with questions can email them to next developer, DR Horton, presented their plan for the 20.9-acre site Lafayette Elementary School site off Fayette Drive. ‘We’re just trying to get through until we sell the properties to these guys,” he said. Neighbors have complained about the condition of the three vacant schools.īristol Township School Board President James Morgan said the district is trying to keep up with maintaining the empty schools. The sale to the developer has been delayed until plans move forward.
The developer will be charged with demolishing the aging buildings that have been closed for several years. The Bristol Township School Board and a county court approved McGrath’s plan to purchase the school sites for $1.2 million in 2019. Lana Davis, who lives near one of the properties, said the “idea of it is excellent,” but there were too many unit proposed for her liking. She added development would help older locals say in the area and called communities like the ones proposed “an investment.” Kristen Egan said she supported the 55-plus community and not single-family homes. One Bristol Township resident cheered on the development, noting it allows older residents to stay local.
