we need something on that corner. Windows are being broken in rear of the building. Could this be another decaying building for our township?

Why do we need yet ANOTHER bank in this town. Give me a break. Can't we put something nice there for the community to use instead of another bank, over-priced store, trendy eatery or pharmacy? This beautiful town is becoming so commercialized, it's beginning to lose its charm.

lots of banks + Lots of spas = Newtown (I see a pattern)

Anyone that has money in Beneficial Bank should take it out ! The citizens of this Town are tired of getting bullied by builders.

Joey,
Somewhere, people have been saying to get the government out of lives. Let business grow. Now your mad about developing an abandon building? No matter what goes at the location nobody will be happy. So let business be develop. So how about squeezing in a Wawa or Bike Line or TGI Friday's, or Pizza Uno's, or Hooter's or another gas station? Beneficial has ever right to build in regard to zoning of the area. The government can not tell business you can't build because the building is facing the wrong way. Or we have too many banks. How many zoning varices did green parrot or rite aid get to build?

The Beneficial building people R arrogant, and do not want to comply with what the Twp. wants.

Are the "wants" zoning and or how they see the township? I remember one saying on this site that people do not say what should be built. A owner of business has the right to build with in the zoning of the parcel. The township in the pass has given variances
to those zoning laws. But then again lets have another decaying abandoned building in Newtown. How cares which direction a building is facing? So who walks down in that part of town? I can't speak for anybody else but I love to walk to walk from 7-11 to Lukoil every other evening...

Sycamore street want to be a shopping/Eating destination, alot like State Street, which is only a Block away. A walking destination, since Taxpayers money fixed up the street and sidewalks !

We can do better than another bank with drive ups and a lot more black top and traffic on that corner.

Ken, does not think so, he doesn't care about taxpayers money spent to make Sycamore St. pedestrian friendly !

Stop putting words in mouth. You must stop the verbal assaults. I will contact this web site to complain about your verbal assaults.

Joey, once again I'll ask that you keep this forum civil, respectful and free of personal attacks.

Thank You Kara...

I agree that an owner can put up whatever type of business they want on their own property (but I wish it wasn't another bank), but like the Boro has with HARB, maybe Sycamore street can have a separate group that helps in making receommendations to applicants during the pre-development stage that helps both sides understand the long term goal of this area of town. This will help save time, money and hopefully reach end goal of making this street. in connection with Newtown Borough, a beautiful area for generations to come and not a hodge podge of random buidlings.

@ bobrodo, Sycamore Street has it's association that HAS a vision for that street, most people go to them before they go public with what they want to put there !
The bank did not, and does not care about what the assoc. wants, does not care about the improvements done to the ST., to make it pedestrian friendly, hired the best land development Attorney in bucks county to represent them, and shove what THEY want down everyones throat. That's why I say they R arrogant.
And then some bloggers complain, when U R not politicaly correct ! I speak the truth, if it hurts so be it !
