West Pikeland Township experienced widespread flooding during Hurricane Ida on September 1, 2021. Ten roads were closed in our township during the peak of the storm. Minor damage occurred to the approach on Horseshoe Trail Bridge, however the road is safe and open to traffic. Pikeland Road was not so fortunate. The approach to the Pikeland Bridge was damaged by floodwaters from Pickering Creek, and Pikeland Road between Rt 113 and Dogwood Lane remained closed while we worked with the county to repair the road and guiderails. Pikeland Road reopened late afternoon on Tuesday, October 12, 2021. |

Unclaimed Property
Nearly $4 billion in collectibles, dormant bank and retirement accounts, jewelry, military medals, stocks, and uncashed checks in Pennsylvania are waiting to be claimed by their rightful owners. One in ten Pennsylvanians have unclaimed property, and the average property claim is worth $2,000. Chances are you or someone you know has property waiting to be claimed. The first step is to search the online database on the Pennsylvania Treasury’s website, www.patreasury.gov/unclaimed-property/. If you find you are owed property, feel free to contact my office at (610) 692-2112 for assistance in navigating the process to claim it.
