A land development plan for a new Blaise Alexander Chevrolet-Buick car dealership near the Lycoming Mall was approved by the Lycoming County Planning Commission Thursday evening, December 6.

The new facility, which is planned to be a 46,981-square-foot structure with office space, a car showroom, parts, storage and garage space, will be situated along the Muncy Township and Fairfield Township border.

The almost 20-acre site is just off the Interstate 180 exit near the mall, west of the Alexander Nissan dealership, according to Joshua A. Billings, county Subdivision and Land Development Administrator.

Access to the new dealership will be off of Alexander Drive in Muncy Township.

The plan was accepted on the condition that the facility’s sewer plan meet Lycoming County Water and Sewer Authority standards and that it be dedicated to the authority at a future date.
