Chadds Ford Township supervisors voted to hire Lacey Faber to be the new township manager. She replaces Emily Pisano who took over as interim manager in September after Matt Baumann left. Pisano returns to her former position as assistant manager.
Faber comes to Chadds Ford after eight years as assistant manager in Edgmont. She said she was hired there by Samantha Reiner, the current chairman of the Chadds Ford Township Board of Supervisors, while Reiner was the manager in Edgmont.
Faber’s salary is $115,000, and she will assume her new duties on Dec. 1.
The board also granted conditional use approval for a home to be built in a steep slope area at 1281 Baltimore Pike. It’s a 4.2-acre property and one of the conditions is that the property be deed-restricted so that it can’t be subdivided.
The Nov. 29 supervisor’s meeting was held in the Millstone Café at the Brandywine River Museum of Arts because of a heating problem at the municipal building. Reiner said the problem was fixed earlier in the day, but the meeting had been advertised to be at the museum.
