Stephen Nowroski was recently hired by Moore Township Board of Supervisors as the next township manager. He replaces highly regarded former manager Nicholas Steiner.

Steiner took a position in the private industry in Allentown after completing five successful years as the Moore Township manager. Nowroski departed his role as director of codes and planning for the city of Easton to join Moore Township.

Supervisors report Nowroski is an excellent fit for Moore Township. His first day in his new position was Feb. 5.

He will manage the township of about 38 square miles and more than 9,000 residents.

After the meeting, township Secretary Katie Yost reported the public works department did well with the recent snowstorm, and the department is prepared for any more snow accumulation.

Yost reported First Regional Compost Authority will be making mulch during March and expects to have mulch delivered to Moore for resident use in April.

The Nazareth Council of Governments recently approved its reorganization meeting held in January.

Yost reported the land and environmental protection board is looking at preserving another 43 acres and is considering another property that may yield more open space preserved.

Lois Kerbacher gave a Moore Township Community Days committee report. She noted the committee is planning a March 10 bingo event, beginning 1 p.m., in the social hall at Klecknersville Rangers Volunteer Fire Department, 2718 Mountain View Drive. Doors open 11 a.m., and the kitchen will be open.

Township Solicitor David Backenstoe said the stormwater ordinance and the Becker Road speed limit ordinance will be ready for review and approval to advertise possibly next month. He added the solar decommissioning ordinance is being reviewed by Lehigh Valley Planning Commission.

The board of supervisors appointed Robert Hindley as the township’s emergency management coordinator.

The board also approved resolution 2024-7, regarding agricultural security at 3005 E. Walker Road. Agricultural security areas are a tool for protecting farms and farmland from nonagricultural uses. Typically, to establish an agricultural security area, a petition is submitted to the township supervisors by the farmers for consideration.

The next Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting is set for 6 p.m. March 5 at the township municipal building, 2491 Community Drive, Bath.
