Mark Danek Secures Zoning Approval for Floodplain Development in Conshohocken

During a recent meeting of the Zoning Hearing Board for the Borough of Conshohocken, real estate partner Mark Danek secured approval for several zoning variances and a special exception to allow for a Wine Garden and Outdoor Activity Space, which includes Pickleball and Bocce courts, along the Schuylkill River Trail in Conshohocken.

The venue is located within Conshohocken’s Flood Plain Overlay District.
