Weis Gas Station Goes to Planners Wednesday

Plans for a Weis Gas-N-Go fuel station, which would be at the Weis shopping center at 7801 Glenlivet Drive in Fogelsvile, will go before the Upper Macungie Planning Commission Wednesday night.

Weis Markets took the first step in its quest to build the fuel station in March  at the Fogelsville location, when it received a use variance for the property last Wednesday night from the Upper Macungie Zoning Hearing Board.

This Wednesday's hearing will focus on the preliminary/final building plan for the fuel station site.

Ultimately, township supervisors will have the last word on the project once planners give their recommendation. That could happen as early as June's supervisors meeting, if the planning commission gives it approval to the preliminary/final building plan.

The prospect of additional retail stores at the Fogelsville Weis shopping center at Route 100 and Glenlivet Drive West took a step forward recently when Upper Macungie Supervisors approved a preliminary lot consolidation plan.

Engineers representing Weis Markets said ground at the site could still start being prepared for construction by June.
