What is the purpose of the structures?
Hello there! The permit was issued for the construction of high tunnels by the Philadelphia Orchard Project as part of our expansion of the POP Learning Orchard at the Woodlands.
Some corrections- The high tunnels are for Philadelphia Orchard Project and will be on the western part of The Woodlands property behind the chain linked fence, not in the cemetery proper. The height is 13 feet as noted on the drawings (not 38 feet as stated in the article!)If possible to make corrections to the article please do.
It will serve as an to the existing cemetery,,, what will it serve as exaclty? As a member of the woodlands this is total news to me.
