Jaindl applied to build the warehouses the day before a Lehigh Valley township passed a ban on such projects.
Truck access to a proposed 450,000-square-foot warehouse in Lower Nazareth Township in the Lehigh Valley has drawn concern from a few members of the Lehigh Valley Planning Commission’s Comprehensive Planning Committee.
The warehouse, which is being developed by Jaindl Farms, is located at 523 Nazareth Pike, just north of the intersection of Routes 191 and 946. The LVPC’s study of the project found that it would generate 500 passenger vehicles and 270 truck trips per day. The stretch of Route 191 already averages about 10,000 vehicles per day, according to PennDOT.
A second warehouse — measuring 72,850 square feet — has also been proposed by Jaindl at 4215 Lonat Drive, across the street from the first.
