• Chadds Ford Township supervisors Wednesday night voted to advertise the 2025 budget with an eye on adopting it in December. There have been no substantive changes since the budget discussion during the October workshop.
The one exception to that, which was discussed last month, is that the annual Business Privilege Tax would increase from $100 per year to $225 per year. That increase, according to Finance Director Laura Lim, would go toward funding the Concordville Fire and Protection Association, raising the township’s contribution to $163,000. The fire company had requested $223,000. Last year’s contribution was $100,000.
Property taxes will remain the same.
Once advertised, the budget will be available for public inspection for 20 days before the vote to adopt.
• Supervisors also voted to officially spend some ARPA funds in the way they had previously discussed. Painters Crossing Condominiums will get $50,000; the Sewer Authority will get $40,000, and the Open Space Committee will get almost $208,000 for reimbursement of Walkable Chadds Ford expenses.
• The Open Space Committee will hold a special public meeting on Thursday, Nov. 14 at 6 p.m. to review and discuss the Sunset Hill Preserve Trail Implementation Plan. The public is invited to attend in person or on Zoom.
