In 2019, a mixed-use development named Shepherdstown Crossing (or Mills at Shepherdstown Crossing) was announced, to be located on the north end of Shepherdstown. The buildings were planned to have exteriors resembling early architecture of the American industrial revolution. [2] The plan for the development originally called for two apartment buildings, two fast food restaurants, and a three-story building. Plans to replace one fast food restaurant and the three-story building with a Chick-fil-A sparked debate among residents but were approved by Upper Allen Township commissioners on December 7, 2022.[3] Shepherdstown Crossing also includes a 41-foot high clock tower which was erected on December 13, 2022.[4]
