Costco moves in. Can Wegman’s be far behind?

The final version of the Costco development settlement will be presented in the courthouse in Media this week. If all goes as planned, Supervisor Dominic Pileggi projects the store being open in one year. Pileggi also said Wegman’s has looked at two sites in ConcordTownship.

At the November 1 Concord Township Meeting, supervisors stepped briskly through items on the agenda. November was declared “Lung Cancer Awareness Month” and “Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.”

Pennsylvania Trooper Rosemary McGuire reported cooperation between police inDelaware and Chester Counties to solve the robberies at area businesses in the last month. This past week there have been many more car break-ins. Window smashing and lock breaking are the two methods used. In all cases, valuables were visible.

Vandalism and robberies in the township parks have become a problem. Approval was given to spend up to $3000 for a fixed camera to be installed in the township park onSmithbridge Road.

During public comments, township resident David Cleary asked for action on a zoning violation on the property at139 Schoolhouse Lane. Pileggi said that the property in question had already been given conditional usage variance. David Cleary also asked for cost analysis of fees paid Concord Township Solicitor. That analysis will be on next month’s agenda.

November 6 at3 PM, the township will celebrate “American Hero Memorial Veterans Day” atTownshipPark onSmithbridge Road.
