Marple Board eases mortgage to aid developer’s plan
Marple Newtown School Board voted seven to zero with one abstention to modify the Brown School mortgage so developer Jerry Frishberg can borrow an additional 10 million from the Delaware County Industrial Development Authority. Frishberg, who bought the site for 1.125 million last September, aims to fund a 13.6 million Martin's Run Retirement Village on the property adjacent to Paxon Hollow Country Club. Critics question tax-payer exposure as the project proceeds.
