Taxes & spending
Board of Supervisors
Sets the township budget and tax rate, passes ordinances, and approves major contracts. The budget for the coming year is adopted each December.
Local Issues
What the township is deciding, in plain English
Budgets, zoning and development get decided at public meetings most residents never see. We read the agendas so you don't have to, and tell you what it means for your taxes and your property.
Our standard
Facts first, then what we think
Every update starts with what actually happened: the vote, the dollar amount, the ordinance number, with a link to the source. Our take comes after, clearly labeled, and it always comes back to the same questions. What does it cost? Who pays? Does it respect what residents own? Who decided?

Where decisions get made
Development
Planning Commission
Reviews subdivision and land development plans before they reach the Supervisors. This is where you can shape a project, not just react to it.
Your property
Zoning Hearing Board
Rules on variances and appeals. Decisions here set precedents for what you and your neighbors can build.
