Last day of the Burn Ban is August 1st *****The Township lost power shortly before the 7/28 Planning Commission meeting and was operating on generator power. The AV equipment did not work, likely because there was not enough power. The power became functional sometime after but prior to the start of the joint meeting. Minutes summarizing what occurred will be posted after the next held Planning Commission meeting. In addition, at its August 11 meeting, the Board of Supervisors will need to make a formal motion authorizing our solicitor to advertise a public hearing on the rezoning request from last night’s Planning Commission agenda for the September 8 meeting. A summarization at the August 11 meeting will be provided. ------Check out Springettsbury Recreation Programs at discounted cost to East Manchester Twp residents under "Local Services" tab --> Recreation --> Springettsbury Twp Recreation!!!

DCED Study Presentation <– Click here

At its July 14, 2026, public meeting, the East Manchester Township Board of Supervisors reviewed and discussed the Fire Services Study presented by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED). The study, provided at no cost to the participating municipalities, evaluated the current delivery of fire protection services within East Manchester Township, Manchester Borough, and Mount Wolf Borough.

The presentation identifies current strengths and challenges, offers recommendations to improve the long-term sustainability of fire protection services, and outlines several potential paths forward for consideration. The Board also discussed the next steps, which include continued collaboration with the participating municipalities and fire departments to evaluate and implement appropriate recommendations.

The complete DCED presentation is available below for public review. See above.
