Bruce did not provide the location of the new store.

John Mack’s Insights:
Two Wawa stores in Bucks County currently sell beer. I’m betting that the 3rd will be the Wawa in Newtown (if Supervisors approve).

At the February 16, 2021, Newtown Board of Supervisors Work Session, Supervisors discussed an Economic Development Committee memo that proposed zoning changes for the LI (Light Industrial) and O-LI (Office-Light Industrial) districts in Newtown Township. The ultimate goal was to attract new, high-paying businesses to the area.
A lot has happened to change the focus of the Overlay, which now includes uses that are beyond what was originally intended, including multi-story mixed use apartments/high density housing and drive through restaurants.
