[Ord. No. 3-2005, § 1, 8/16/2005]
Milton Hershey School, formerly known as "Hershey Industrial
School," owns an historical structure known as "Senior Hall," located
in Derry Township near the eastern boundary of South Hanover Township.
Milton Hershey School is an integral part of the culture and economy
of South Hanover Township. Milton Hershey School draws heavily on
residents and businesses in South Hanover Township as employees, vendors
and contractors. Alumni of Milton Hershey School are productive residents
of South Hanover Township. Lands in South Hanover Township have, since
the days of Milton Hershey, been used for purposes incidental to the
operations of Milton Hershey School at Senior Hall and elsewhere in
the vicinity. The Eleemosynary School Campus District is intended
and designed to allow the natural expansion of the Milton Hershey
School campus and allow for the possibility of establishment of campuses
of similar eleemosynary schools on lands in South Hanover Township
which have historically been used by Milton Hershey School for such
incidental purposes, so as to preserve and promote the continuation
and development of Milton Hershey School and allow for the possibility
of similar eleemosynary schools as an ongoing and viable component
of the Township's economy and lifestyle.
