Birmingham supports conservancy
Birmingham Township supervisors Monday night voted to support the Brandywine Conservancy in its bid for state assistance for floodplain restoration. The board wrote a letter in support of the conservancy’s request for funding from the state Department of Environmental Protection Growing Greener program.
The letter, signed by Supervisor’s Chairman Scott Boorse, recognizes the conservancy’s efforts and continued dedication to land and water stewardship. The funds from the program would go toward the planning, design, and engineering for restoration of the floodplain along the Brandywine in Birmingham Township.
In the letter, Boorse wrote, “Birmingham Township is confident in the ability of the Brandywine Conservancy to administer the project, for the purpose of local and regional flood mitigation through floodplain restoration.”
The letter also said Birmingham wished the conservancy every success with the grant application and that the township looks forward to “continue working together to safeguard our residents and our rich natural resources.”

The board voted to approve a certificate of appropriateness for Mike Ramaker at 1035 Little Ridge Drive. The HARB supported the color changes for a deck, garage doors, shutters, and lighting.
