Auto parts store gets green light Carlisle borough council has approved preliminary plans for an Advance Auto Parts store in the 700 block of North Hanover Street. It will straddle the border between Carlisle and North Middleton Township and the municipalities expect to split property tax revenues. Carlisle's approval comes with the condition that curbs and stop signs must be installed behind the store to control access to a private drive serving Mellon Bank and an apartment complex. The main entrance and exit for the auto parts store will be located on North Hanover.
Advance hopes to open the store in spring.
Councilman wants public's input A newly elected Carlisle councilman has launched a personal quest to find out what citizens want. Ronald Clippinger announced he'll hold a two-hour open session prior to council's monthly agenda setting sessions. Clippinger also is interested in the thoughts of citizens who tried to keep him out of office. He dropped from top-vote getter in the primary to second place in the general election. Clippinger says a closer look at the block made him realize he goofed.
