The Maxatawny Township Office will be closed to the public during regular business hours January 27th through January 31st due to interior renovations funded by the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The Zoning Hearing Meeting on Tuesday, January 28th at 6:30 pm will be held as scheduled at the Township Office.
At the request of Township Residents, and due to the high number of stray/free roaming cats in the Township, the Board of Supervisors have agreed to support TRN (trap, neuter, return) in our Municipality. Township Residents can take a stray/free roaming cat to the clinic of their choice, get an invoice showing service provided, submit the invoice to the Township (with proof of residency) and get reimbursed up to $40.00 for each service. Each Resident/Household will be capped at 3 reimbursements in 2025, with a maximum payout of 37 services/reimbursements Township wide for the year. Please contact Jeri Wehr at 610-683-6518 with any questions.
