During the Oct. 1 Moore Township Board of Supervisors meeting, township Manager Stephen Nowroski announced a new municipal building feasibility study for Moore Township was moving forward and has identified two design concepts. The feasibility study is continuing to refine the design.

Refurbishing the current municipal building versus building a new municipal building has been discussed at previous board of supervisors meetings over the last two years. Roof issues, space constraints and a challenging layout have plagued the current building. Initial thoughts to refurbish the building over time yielded to the idea to construct a new building. No decisions were made at the meeting by supervisors.
