I love how all up and down 81 they build these giant warehouses with the excuse of jobs and tax breaks and all that other bullshit, now the highways are packed with semis and soon all those jobs will be automated as soon as possible. Complete and utter garbage.

I made the same argument when they demolished 2 (occupied rental) homes and plowed over farm land to build a massive warehouse off 81 here in Newville. Its bad enough the in town roads are not big enough for a semi and a car, but those things utterly destroy local roads. The pavement is a total washboard at every light. I was told to basically shut up and sit down because it is bringing jobs to the area. Yeah. Low wage, dead end jobs to an already poverty line area.

Fuck monster warehouses.

This, I live in Shippensburg so I know exactly what you're talking about. Now they're even building them off 11. Here in ship were dealing with the same thing. This was all planned I'm sure of it. All of the land around 81 was bought up by the university, the family that owns h&h Chevy and other investment groups. They just waited for all this to happen and cash in. Farms get bought up not by farmers but by developers.

There’s a bunch happening here in Lebanon county. Big Walmart off 72 has killed traffic just north of the city and now there are massive warehouse buildings popping up along 422 just before the residential areas in Palmyra. It’s a shame …
