Episode Details

The Marquis shopping center is set for a dramatic makeover with the approval of a 22-acre rezoning for 125 new townhomes, a Sheetz, and an Arby’s — all part of the Marquis Crossing project. After initial pushback from the Planning Commission, supervisors flipped their stance after negotiations, citing strong tax revenue projections and developer concessions. Concerns over school funding — potentially short by $122K annually — were acknowledged, but countered by expected $800K+ in annual tax revenue and $850K in cash over five years. The deal also includes guarantees that commercial spaces go up first, plus added perks like extra parking, historical signage honoring the Civil War battlefield land, and bike path access — making this development a community-focused gamble with big upside.
