South Strabane Addressing Budget Concerns

South Strabane Township Supervisors followed through on their promise to dissolve the Parks and Recreation Department. The action, characterized as a budgetary concern passed 3-2. Supervisors are also going through monthly expenditures with a fine tooth comb. Supervisor Zack Morgan was concentrating on the smallest of items that add up. He made sure that an email account that costs ten dollars a month was cancelled. He made sure that accompanying cell phone and computer plans were also cancelled. Supervisors also added into a settlement agreement that township solicitor fees be charged back to a company for having to redraft that settlement agreement. The township will also be seeking requests for proposals to update their comprehensive plan. The current plan has been in place since 2017. Township Manager Peter Stefansky says that with all of the building that is going on, it is important that zoning ordinances are in place to keep up with all of the changes occurring in the township. Stefansky also reminds residents of the public hearing that supervisors are holding concerning data centers. The meeting will take place on Tuesday, March 31 at 6:30 pm. It will be at the Fire Department Hall on Oak Springs Road. He said that shuttle service will be provided from the parking lot where the Dollar Bank once was located. The township wants to conserve on site parking for those individuals that have needs to be parked close to the building.
