More businesses may come to Jackson

Board discusses commerce park construction

JACKSON TWP — More businesses may be on the horizon for the 60-plus acres for construction in Jackson’s Pointe Commerce Park.

Brian Goetz, Buncher real estate vice president, said phases three and four of construction are being looked at by the township planning commission.

Goetz said those phases of the development at the northeast corridor of Route 19 and Route 528 will be done together.

Possible business ventures include retail, restaurants, office space and a hotel.

“The reality is like with phase two; the marketplace will dictate what’s going to go on those sites eventually,” Goetz said.

He also said a traffic impact study is needed for phase four and the Buncher company will work with the state Department of Transportation on that.

He said a “mixed commercial use” is the best description he could give on the plan for phase four.

Township manager Chris Rearick said the planning commission will discuss the plans Dec. 2.

The plans were to be discussed at Thursday’s planning commission meeting, but Rearick said they were sent back to Buncher Real Estate to review stormwater issues.

“It wasn’t anything major, simply a matter of Buncher being able to wait a month so we could have those issues resolved,” he said. “We wanted to give their engineer time to respond and see if all of our engineer’s comments could be addressed by the planning commission review.”

Phase three takes up about 40 acres, while phase four covers about 21 acres.

The impact Jackson’s Pointe has had on the community isn’t just related to businesses, but also residential areas.

Rearick said the development has allowed for the extension of sewer and water to Abbey Woods on Zehner School Road.

“It’s enabled extensions of sewer and water to residential developments in the township,” he said.

Goetz said phase one of the development was completed quicker than expected.

However, phase two where the new Speedway gas station and convenience store is took “a little longer” to get permits approved.

“Overall, we’re doing well considering the market conditions,” Goetz said.

It’s unknown when construction on phases three and four will begin.

Phase one includes UPS, Protico, Red Bull and LabChem. Warehouse distribution space also was created with the first phase.

Several parcels in phase two are either under a lease or have a letter of intent.
