North Franklin Township Supervisor Chairman Bob Sabot previewed plans for a new township municipal building on Tuesday. Plans call for a 7000 square foot building that not only will hold township office space but will include a community room for gatherings of up to 200 people. The new building will be located on Franklin Farms Road on property purchased from the Pennsylvania American Water Company. The new building will be in front of an 80 acre parcel of land that is under development as a new township park. The cost of the project is $2,225,500 and will be funded by existing funds in savings from a previous bond refinance, Act 13 funds, an LSA grant and the sale of the current municipal building. Sabot says they expect to break ground in the fall of 2021 and hope to have construction complete in the fall of 2022.
