Neighbors of an endangered Ardmore sanctuary want to see it converted to apartments. Residents in Gladwyne mostly opposed a similar plan on Righters Mill Road at Wednesday's township public hearing.
It was clear Wednesday night that Lower Merion's Board of Commissioners wasn't nearly ready to decide whether to move forward with a zoning scheme that would ease some restrictions for owners of former churches and historic halls seeking to convert them to housing. That did not diminish how urgently several residents expressed their opinions at the public hearing—some for and some against, the divide corresponding in most cases to the neighborhoods they live in. Neighbors of the First Baptist Church of Ardmore, whose owner has obtained a demolition permit, asked township officials to provide incentive for a different path.

Update 7:30 p.m. View Ardmore Patch's photos from today's acid spill and read an eyewitness account here. Update 5:30 p.m.: Lower Merion Fire Chief Chas McGarvey said the chemical is a type of acid—either sulfuric or muriatic—and that the reason there was a cloud may have been because there was moisture on the ground.
