Summit School Redevelopment Begins

The Summit School, on Plush Mill Road in Wallingford, was the subject of the Nether Providence commissioners meeting on January 23. The site has been slated for redevelopment as green space including, possibly, a small amphitheater and recreational facilities, according to the township. The details of work on the project are becoming clear.

Diamond Huntbach Construction of Philadelphia will perform asbestos abatement of the school building, which will then be demolished. The cost of the abatement is expected to be $188,500. Demolition, which will be by JMC Contractors Inc. of Glen Mills, will follow, with a price tag of $174,347. The money comes from a $500,000 grant the township received from the Pennsylvania Redevelopment Assistance Program (RACP) last summer.
