5 issues in taxes budget
Holiday Parking Suspension
The township is making the West Avenue and South Wayne lots free for December and January and suspending paid parking township-wide on Saturdays in December to draw shoppers downtown. It costs about $6,000 in forgone revenue but supports local businesses during the holidays. Just remember: it's temporary and ends February 1.
2027 Preliminary Operating and Capital Budget
Township Manager Bill White rolled out the draft 2027 budget: no real estate tax increase proposed, a possible sewer fee bump from $13.46 to $14, and a likely stormwater fee increase to cover new bond debt. Adoption is expected December 14, with workshop dates in November.
2027 Community Grant Awards
The Township's first community grant program awarded $100,000 from eighteen applications seeking nearly $380,000; a resident asked that applications be posted for public comment in future years.
PAISBOA Municipal Building Lease Renewal
PAISBOA renews about 1,500 square feet in the municipal building for three years, with rent rising from $32.47 to $34.45 per foot — but the space is too small for a municipal court, a question commissioners raised.
Community Grant Program Establishment
The township awarded its first-ever round of community grants — $100,000 split among recipients chosen from 18 applications seeking nearly $380,000. A resident suggested posting future applications online for public input.
