Horsham Township Council gave final approval Wednesday for the development of the Horsham Road property after a decade of proposals. The old Joseph’s Catering property on Horsham Road will become a self storage facility.
At its meeting Wednesday, Township Council gave preliminary/final approval to a plan to build the self storage facility at 901 Horsham Road on the parcel that housed Joseph’s Catering, next to Hatboro-Horsham high school.
No discussion took place before the unanimous approval. The approval comes two months after the council addressed the property that has come before them numerous times over the past decade with plans calling for everything from apartments to even a hotel.
“I do believe this is the best that has come along,” Township Manager Bill Walker said at a prior meeting.

The facility will be for personal storage with businesses prohibited from storing equipment and such. Street lamps will also be added along Horsham Road from Babylon Road to the far end of the high school property.
The project calls for parking, lighting, and landscaping. It will feature 16 parking spaces in front, one access off Horsham Road, decorative street lamps, and new sidewalks. The site will be highly automated and well-secured with an office in the front for keycard pickup. Leases will also be on a monthly basis.
No timetable was given about when construction would begin or when the project would be completed.
