PENNSBURY: Explanation sought

A large, formerly wooded site on Route 1 directly across from the Chadds Ford Antique Mall has been cleared, and a curious reader asked if I knew what was going on.
"WHAT is that for?" she said. "It is most disturbing."
I reviewed the minutes of the Pennsbury Township Board of Supervisors and the Planning Commission for the past year and found no discussion about proposed tree clearing or development on the site.
When I drove by the property on Aug. 22, "no trespassing" signs were posted and the street number, 617, was marked in blue paint on some of the remaining trees. A worker was stacking the felled tree trunks using a large claw.
