The South Strabane Township Board of Supervisors approved a conditional use application by a 4-1 vote for the Washington County Transit Authority to establish a new bus depot along Berry Road, the former site of a store and driving range, as a central hub for Freedom Transit’s fleet of vehicles. Supervisor Jeff Bull dissented, citing concerns over the transit authority’s tax-exempt status, which could result in a loss of tax revenue for the township and shift the financial burden onto residents. The board also approved an ordinance to implement a Traffic Impact Fee program to ensure fair contributions to the township’s transportation infrastructure. The fee will be imposed on developers of new residential, commercial, or industrial projects that generate additional traffic. The board also approved by 4-1 the final land development plan submitted by 79/70 Associates to redevelop the former Washington Mall site on Oak Spring Road including a Warehouse Club, Fuel Station, RV Dealership, and Service Center. Bull was the opposing vote stating traffic impact and developer concerns.
