The former manager of the Prince Manufacturing plant in Bowmanstown testified Wednesday that his old business was a hive of truck traffic, with occasional lines of tractor trailers picking up loads, customer visits, UPS deliveries and even truckers stopping to use the factory's scales.

Wednesday's meeting was the third public hearing in which the board listened to testimony and questions related to Schleicher's request.
