HEARING NOTICE Notice is hereby given that the Joint Zoning Hearing Board of Mahoning and Cooper Townships, Montour County, Pennsylvania will hold a public hearing on January 8, 2026, at 5:30 pm at the Mahoning Township Municipal Building, 849 Bloom Road, Danville, Pennsylvania. The purpose of the hearing is a continuation of a prior hearing on December 9, 2025, to take additional testimony and possibly take action upon an appeal filed by Kristin Mikita Pfleegor from a July 24, 2025 determination of the Cooper Township Zoning Officer denying an application for a zoning permit to Scott Fought. The Appellant contends the zoning officer committed an error in denying the zoning permit application solely on the grounds of stormwater and/or land development approval being required because the proposed use of the property located at 1078 Grovania Drive, Tax Parcel Number 2-42-222 for a trash transfer station and related facilities is not permitted under the zoning ordinance. The appeal is submitted pursuant to Section 250-77.A.(1). of the Mahoning/Cooper Township Zoning Ordinance.
