Attention Chestnuthill Township residents! 🚧

(via Chestnuthill Supervisor Chuck Gould)

Starting Friday, September 13, PennDOT will begin Stage 3 of the Merwinsburg Road Realignment Project on SR 115. Here’s what you need to know:

Southbound traffic on SR 115 will be able to pass through the work zone. Northbound traffic will need to follow the Stage 3 detour plan, which you can view here: www.chestnuthilltwp-pa.gov/infrastructure-updates. I've also put stage 3's detour plan in the photos.

This phase of the project will last approximately 2 to 3 months, according to PennDOT. Once completed, Stage 4 will begin, with northbound traffic allowed through the work zone and southbound traffic following a new detour. The Stage 4 detour plan is also available at the link above.

Beacon Hill Concerts invites you to “A Medieval Christmas: Hodie Christus Natus Est” performed by The Boston Camerata on Sunday, December 1 at 3:00pm at Beacon Hill Music Hall. The show features the vocals of Anne Azéma (with hand-held hurdy gurdy, harp, and organetto), Camila Parias, and Deborah Rentz-Moore.

The issue of short-term rentals is a hot topic, but how are they really affecting Barrett Township? A 2019 Supreme Court ruling allowed townships to regulate short-term rental permits, and Barrett's supervisors mostly mirrored the state and county regulations. As of today, according to a Right-to-Know request submitted to the township zoning officer, 29 permits have been issued for short-term rentals.
