Hershey, Pennsylvania — The Hersheypark Stadium backstage is to be redeveloped with 2 permanent buildings and 13 temporary structures. The Star Pavilion is being replaced and the area in front of the stage is currently a large pile of rubble.
Representatives from Hershey Entertainment & Resorts Company brought their proposal to the Derry Township Planning Commission to be recommended for approval last night. Improvements to the existing venue layout will create a new backstage entrance providing increased venue security, reducing pedestrian traffic conflicts, and improve overall operational efficiency for the venue. The redesign will also improve parking lot security.
A storm water management plan has been approved for this development plan and the newly enacted fire fee will be applied to this project at a rate of 50 cents per square foot of new floor space.
After hearing the proposal, the planning commission did recommend approval of the development plan contingent upon various conditions.

Hershey needs to host the PIAA playoffs again. The questionable back room deals being done by Cumberland Valley to host need to end.
