The construction schedule of the new Dollar General Store on Route 88 in Union Township was delayed by changes in project management inside Dollar General as well as securing state approval for a sewage tap-in.
The construction schedule of the new Dollar General Store on Route 88 in Union Township was delayed by changes in project management inside Dollar General as well as securing state approval for a sewage tap-in.
According to Rick Kovach of the Peters Creek Sanitary Authority, there was never a problem or holdup with the PCSA, as sewer taps were available in 2012. He explained, “Any time there’s a subdivision requiring a sewer tap, particularly near a flood plain, it’s necessary for the property owner to complete a planning module with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Dollar General, headquartered in Tennessee, was unaware of this usually lengthy procedure, but the process is now completed and PCSA has signed off on a sewage tap permit.”
Kovach believes that Dollar General is now free to apply for a building permit with Union Township. Completing the DEP process has delayed Dollar General’s schedule a little longer than expected. Union Township Zoning Officer Harold Ivery confirmed this to be the case, saying, “Dollar General now needs only to pay the building permit fee, and they can start construction.”
