What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Voters in Hatfield Township are being asked to consider a referendum regarding a dedicated funding stream for local projects. The proposal calls for increasing the township’s earned income tax rate by up to 0.25 percent. This additional revenue, projected to be around $2 million annually, would fund open space preservation, retire real property debt, and finance acquisitions and maintenance of open space.
