The township is in discussions with Provco on a potential settlement of litigation regarding its proposal to build a Wawa convenience store and gas station in the township.
The supervisors have been meeting in executive session to draft a settlement agreement, according to township sources. No additional details were forthcoming.
It was also not known if the settlement is for all the litigation regarding the Wawa project or just one aspect.
Provco has been fighting the township on a number of legal fronts, including the validity challenge before the zoning hearing board and an appeal in Bucks County Court of the township’s vote denying approval of its land development last fall.
Provco is seeking to build a Wawa convenience store and gas station on Lower Silver Lake Road and the Newtown Bypass in the township’s office-research zone.
The Board of Supervisors will consider the 5 June 2023 revised Settlement Agreement with Provco/Wawa at its June 14, 2023 public meeting. This agreement includes a Wawa "Monument Sign" at the intersection of the Newtown Bypass and Lower Silver Lake Road facing the Bypass (see above). The proposed sign is 8'4" high, will not be internally illuminated but will be externally illuminated at night and will not display gasoline prices.
