Upper Hanover Township officials said Tuesday night they have a variety of events planned to celebrate their 275^th anniversary they hope will appeal to everyone.

        Township Manager Stan Seitzinger presented the board of supervisors with a preliminary schedule of events to be held throughout 2016 in commemoration of the anniversary. Events are scheduled to begin in May, culminating in a celebration day on Saturday, Sept. 17 at Camelot Park.

        As presented, the schedule will begin with 275^th anniversary committee representation at the UPV Chamber of Commerce Community and Business Expo on April 26. Committee members will provide information about the upcoming events which include two presentations on the township's history by local historian Larry Roeder. Other events include a self-guided tour of historic locations throughout the township, pontoon boat tours of the Green Lane Reservoir and a visit to The Knoll Museum.

        A variety of activities are already slated for September's big event, including exhibits and displays, a time capsule dedication and installation of military service plaques at Camelot Park's World War I and World War II memorial.

        In other business Tuesday night, Solicitor Edward Skypala conducted a hearing before consideration of two ordinances pertaining to the township's floodplain management. Both ordinances were advertised and available for review prior to Tuesday night's meeting. With no citizen comments or concerns expressed during the brief hearing, the three supervisors in attendance voted to adopt both ordinances.

        The board agreed to extend an agreement with Asphalt Maintenance Solutions for the third year for bituminous seal coat at a cost of $2.08 per square yard. Seitzinger reported that pricing inquiries showed that bids could be as high as $2.60.

        "I would have the fear that if we bid it out, we would end up with a higher number," Supervisor Ben Fiorito commented.

        Supervisor Steven Rothenberger asked Seitzinger to assist Road Foreman Tom Latshaw in obtaining a range of quotes for the township's purchase of two dump/plow trucks to ensure the township gets a fair price.

        "I'd like to see four for each truck or five for each truck for that matter," Rothenberger said.

        During the citizens comment period, Andrew Curtis of Hendricks Road asked whether the township has received any communication or requests pertaining to development of 200 townhomes in Red Hill. Vice Chairman Richard Fain reported that the township has not yet received any requests.
