About five years ago, the township worked on rehabilitation efforts with Catasauqua Lake, located in Hanover’s Canal Park recreation system. The township reportedly spent thousands of dollars for the restoration. In three years, the vibrant lake has become muddy and lacking any vegetation.

The township is planning for a community day celebration in September. The idea is to have food trucks present.

The township engineer has approved roadwork for the middle and lower sections of Postal Road. This project was delayed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Township Manager Melissa Wehr noted a new tenant will present credentials for the space shared with Morris Black on Marcon Boulevard. The prior tenant withdrew his application.
