Additionally, all meetings in November will continue to be held at the New Garden Township meeting. Wednesday’s meeting was held there, and the Nov. 19 supervisors’ meeting is slated to be held there as well.
The Aug. 17 meeting was held at the East Marlborough Township building and September’s meetings were held at New Garden.
The Aug. 17 supervisors’ meeting was held at East Marlborough Township’s municipal building, and meetings in September and October have been held at the New Garden Township building on Starr Road.
“In August mold growth was discovered on the carpet and tables in the meeting room,” according to a policy briefing by Denise Serino with the township’s Finance and HR Department. “Humidity level testing was performed, and two walls had high levels. Mold N More came out to perform mold testing on all three floors as well as air sampling. The results showed that the lower level was impacted only.”
The township has contracted with Tucks Waterproofing of Coatesville to remediate the mold and waterproof the lower level of the township building.
