Residents Work Together to Develop New Property Maintenance Code

A group of 13 residents have been hard at work developing a new property maintenance code to help govern issues related to residences and businesses.

 

The goals of this code include:

  • Enhancing the safety of residents
  • Protection of the environment
  • Preservation of the township's rural and agrarian character
  • Enhancing public health and welfare

The following residents serve on the Hatfield Township Property Task Force: Mark Baskin, Marge Bennett, Jim Bleakly, Cindy Bourgeois, Fran Haley, John Ianuzzi, Dave Kimmerly, Karen Miller, Dean Mininger, Steve Morris, Peter Patkos, Dan Reavy, and Bob Rodgers.

 

The task force is charged with providing recommendations to aide the Board of Commissioners in formulating standards and procedures designed to address issues of property maintenance.

Soil Agreements Helps Create More Field Sports at School Road Park
Have you been wondering what the heavy duty construction vehicles and large piles of dirt are for behind the senior ball field at School Road Park?
 
This work is part of a unique agreement between the contractor of a major bridge construction project and Hatfield Township. The contractor needed a feasible depository for fill dirt. Hatfield Township needed more dirt for a level playing field.
 
The dirt is soon to be seeded for grass providing additional level land to schedule sports such as baseball, soccer, and lacrosse.
