Township Welcomes Three Police Officers

Three new police officers were sworn-in at a recent Board of Supervisors’ meeting. District Justice Suzan Leonard was on hand to conduct the official ceremony.

The officers, Kyle Rocks, Landon Detweiler, and Justin Gannon, were selected after a rigorous screening process that included numerous applicants.

The Township welcomes the officers and wishes them the best in their careers.

Supervisors Hear Presentation On Former Reed's Restaurant/Nightclub Property

The Board of Supervisors on Tuesday heard an informal introductory presentation by Franklin Realty concerning the former Reed’s nightclub/restaurant property on Skippack Pike.

The presentation called for 90 age-restricted condominiums to be built on the portion of the property closest to Skippack Pike. Most of the parking spaces in this proposal would be subsurface parking located under the building. Representatives from Franklin Realty indicated that the bulk of the site, located at the rear of the property, would not be developed and would be deed restricted to prevent the possibility of any future development.

It is important to note that the presentation was for informational purposes only, as no formal application has been submitted for review. If the project proceeds, the review process will follow the normal course, which starts with a review by the Township’s Planning Commission.
