There are no definitive numbers yet, but Chadds Ford Township supervisors have begun the budget process for 2024. The public discussion started during a meeting on Tuesday morning, Oct. 17. That session was held because the regular meeting scheduled for Oct. 4 was postponed because there was no quorum.
Line items discussed included the township’s contribution to Concordville Fire and Protective Association. The township currently gives the fire company $65,000 per year but, according to Supervisors’ Vicechair Samantha Reiner, Concordville wants almost $190,000 which would mean an additional $125,000 would have to be raised if the supervisors agree to that increase. That could mean including a fire tax in the budget.
As of now, however, the preliminary proposal anticipates revenue and expenses for next year to be $1,116,878. Reiner said the preliminary budget keeps township taxes as they are now, with no tax increase.
Again, no final numbers were decided and that won’t happen until Nov. 23 or 29 when the proposed budget will be advertised. But those numbers could also change before the supervisors vote on the budget. That vote is scheduled for either Dec. 6 or 9.

Reiner reminded the two residents attending in person and one on Zoom that Recycling Day is Saturday, Oct. 28 starting at 9 a.m. and going to noon. There’s also the semi-annual Road Clean-up that will start at 8 a.m.
Residents can dispose of electronics, get medication disposal bags, and get an American sycamore tree. Additionally, secure paper shredding will be available to residents and non-residents alike.
