Barrancas Residential Development
The Barrancas Residential Development project has been approved to construct 77 multifamily units across a 4.72-acre site of previously undeveloped land on Olde Barrancas Avenue in Warrington.

The Development Review Committee approved the Barrancas Residential Development project on Feb. 14, almost three months after the project’s developers initially applied for approval in late November last year.

The Ledgestone Subdivision project was approved on Feb. 21 by the Development Review Committee to create 36 new single-family residential lots and one road, Ledgestone Court, across an approximately 14-acre site in Beulah.

The subdivision’s address is planned to be 9989 Beulah Road upon completion, according to the project’s Information Form filed with the county.
