Land clearing and construction could begin soon on the new 5,500- square-foot Wawa convenience store and gas station coming to the Newtown Bypass.
Newtown Township Supervisor John Mack reported Wednesday night [28 Feb 2024] that Provco Pinegood, LLC, is in the process of finalizing its land development plan and may soon start construction at Lower Silver Lake Road and the Newtown Bypass.
