David Jaindl says he's willing to move forward with two plans for his 700 acres of farmland in Lower Macungie — one of which reduces the number of homes and commercial space — while a recently filed state Supreme Court appeal related to the plan is pending.

    East Penn: Your Take

    Should Lower Macungie pursue David Jaindl's plans to reduce the number of homes, businesses and traffic relative to his plan to develop about 700 acres of farmland?

    • Yes. The township needs to lessen the impact of growth on roads and the school district.
    • No. Not if it comes at the expense of dropping challenges to zoning changes and subdivision plans related to the project.
