North Strabane Township Supervisors picked up on a conditional use application hearing for the Hidden Acres development. A public hearing was begun in January of this year and was continued to Tuesday to allow Laurel Communities time to address supervisor concerns with the plan. As was the case in January, about two dozen local residents attended the meeting for the proposed development on Christy Road to voice different concerns than before. Several residents including Doug Matt voiced environmental concerns as they relate to the streams stocked with fish that traverse the property. Also addressed were protected plant and insects living there. Bats and turtles were also animals of concern. Residents of Christy Road voiced their concerns for their own safety. Many pointed out that increased traffic from the development would put their safety at risk as they walked along Christy Road for recreation. Laurel Communities presented a revised application in March of 2025 for a 160 home development that would be located on 279 acres. Jon Kamin, an attorney representing Laurel Communities explained that this is the very first step in a process that has several more steps and could take up to 18 months to complete. Supervisors anticipate voting on the conditional use application in July.
