This is a project that I and a bunch of others have been slowly working on, trying to restore a 100 year old church so that it can be used to create community again in Lingelstown. 6000 square feet of wooden building. The Schoffstall Associates crew has been cleaning and fixing this up in preparations for Blue Mountain Foods to start the cafe in it after a major contractor rehab to install a kitchen and try to conform to the various Lower Paxton Township regulations. It is really hard to not lose the historic and aesthetic sense of this building with these regulations which I think are more focused on boring box buildings and greenfield.
Lingelstown has a real opportunity to create a small historic retail core of community oriented businesses thanks to Geof Smith at St Thomas Roasters showing us all what can be done. But it is a trial to be patient with the restrictions, I thankful that Bill is helping.
