Nursing home project goes before board

The review process on a proposed senior housing campus in Upper Allen Township is moving too fast for at least one potential neighbor.That is how Elaine Daly sees the plan by the Hollinger Group of Mechanicsburg to develop eight acres zoned medium density residential adjacent to her back yard at 385 Alison Ave."I do not object to senior housing, but this is very huge ... There is nothing like that in this part of the township," said Daly during a phone interview Monday."People need to know what is going on to see if this is what they want," she added. "Open it up so people can look at what could happen."As Daly puts it, the proposal would put almost 100 senior apartment units and 48 nursing home rooms "smack dab in the middle" of a residential neighborhood close to Elmwood Elementary School.
