10,000 Friends of Pennsylvania bestowed its prestigious Commonwealth Awards for Design to a Lancaster County developer who is creating a walkable community with nearly 500 new residences and a commercial district in the Borough of Mount Joy while preserving nine acres of open space.

The award was presented to Lancaster–based Charter Homes for its Florin Hill development at a special awards ceremony held Tuesday afternoon, June 9, at the Whitaker Center in Harrisburg. The Florin Hill development, still under construction in the western end of Mount Joy, will bring 483 residential units that will connect with the borough’s Main Street, allowing residents to walk or bicycle to existing and newly opened stores.
