Whitehall Township commissioners on Monday tabled a resolution for conditional-use approval of a proposed 55-and-older community in the township’s northern section.

The commissioners said Grist Mill Development Co. will have to submit a study on ‘active-adult’ traffic before they will take any action on the request to allow a conditional use for the project, which would consist of 82 detached, single family homes.
