A motion to change the proposed development of Wawa at the old Bally's location was rejected.
Residents of Upper Moreland recently attended the Township Planning Agency meeting to voice their displeasure of the construction of the Wawa to be built at the old Bally’s Fitness location. Representatives from Goodman Properties presented their Land Development Plan that included 6 pumps, parking, and the beginning stages of building.

Members of the Upper Moreland Democratic Committee, a group opposed to the Wawa plans, asked the board to reject the plan, but the Planning Agency didn't consider the request request. Nick Scull, who spoke for the UMDC made another request for the builder to revise the plans to reduce the footprint of the Wawa, but that …

The Board of Commissioners recently agreed to set up a hearing on whether or not to change the township zoning code of Town Center.
The issue over a new Wawa gas station has divided the township and its residents over the last couple of months, but soon enough there will be a decision one way or the other if it will be allowed to be built. After much deliberating between the township commissioners at Monday's meeting, a hearing date of Nov. 13 was set to determine if the township will change its zoning code to allow construction. The land that Goodman Properties wishes to build on is currently zoned Town Center and does not allow gas stations. Some Commissioners who are opposed to a new Wawa maintain that by amending the zoning code it could have a negative impact on the township and surrounding businesses. New projects like this seem to be happening in a lot of …
