Demolition of Abandoned Homes Begins

A string of abandoned and boarded-up houses at Durham and Eagle roads is being demolished in the coming weeks to make way for an assisted living complex.

Demolition has begun on a string of abandoned and boarded-up houses at Durham and Eagle roads. The property will soon be home to an assisted living complex.

Last month, the Newtown Township Board of Supervisors approved development and financial security agreements for The Birches, a 87,000-square-foot, 120-bed assisted living complex.

The facility will be located on about 8.6 acres across from the Corner Bakery Cafe.
