ADAMS TWP — Several members of the Mars Area School Board recently spoke out against a proposed GetGo station at the intersection of Route 228 and Three Degree Road regarding the site's location and items that would be sold at the store.

At an Adams Township planning commission meeting Aug. 10, several school board members presented a letter with their comments and concerns regarding the proposed station.

The GetGo site plan has not yet been approved for building, and will likely be voted on at the next planning commission meeting Sept. 1.

Board Member Anthony DePretis and Board President John Kennedy said that they were not against the proposition from a development standpoint, but because of the new building's proximity to students and the property's planned alcohol and tobacco sales.
