Snow Emergency In Effect January 6 through January 7

Due to the impending storm, Chief of Police Krimmel has declared a Snow Emergency that will be in effect from 6 AM on Monday January 6 2025 until 6 AM Tuesday January 7, 2025. During this Snow Emergency, it shall be unlawful at any time during the continuance of the Snow Emergency for any person to park a motor vehicle or to allow that vehicle to remain anywhere on any designated snow emergency route (any township street). Failure to remove vehicles may result in fines and or towing of vehicles.
We need the vehicles removed so our Road Crew and PENNDOT can effectively plow your streets.
A snow emergency DOES NOT mean you can ride your ATVs and snowmobiles in the street.
Please clear any fire hydrants near your homes and help your older neighbors with shoveling if you can.
The walking trails at both Playwicki Farm and Russel Elliot Memorial Park will be closed Monday (1/6) and Tuesday (1/7). Thank you for your cooperation and please stay safe!
Thank you for your cooperation.

PennDOT Reduces or Eliminates Registration Fees for Some Veterans & Retirees

Through bipartisan efforts between the Shapiro Administration and the Pennsylvania General Assembly, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is pleased to announce that due to changes established in Act 60 of 2024, signed by Governor Shapiro in July, the annual income threshold for a retired Pennsylvanian to qualify for a reduced vehicle registration fee was increased, allowing more people to be eligible for this benefit. Additionally, some veterans may now be eligible for free vehicle registration and titling fees.

Previously, the annual income threshold for a retired customer to qualify for a reduced registration fee of $11 annually was $19,200.  Beginning December 16, 2024, the annual income threshold increases to $29,906 and will be subject to annual Consumer Price Index adjustments.

For qualifying customers to receive the reduced vehicle registration fee of $11, they must complete and submit Form MV-371, “Application for a Retired Person’s Processing Fee of a Vehicle Registration.  ”Customers should attach the completed form to their invitation to renew and return it to PennDOT to be processed. The $11 annual fee will be applied after the application is processed. More information on eligibility requirements can be found on PennDOT’s Driver and Vehicle Services website.

Act 60 also provides for the elimination of registration and title fees for one passenger vehicle or truck weighing 9,000 pounds or less owned by military veterans who meet the following requirements (license plate fees still apply):

  • Vehicles registered to a veteran who lost a limb or eye or who became partially paralyzed while serving in the Armed Forces of the United States.
  • Vehicles registered to a person who, as a member or the Armed Forces of the United States, was captured by the enemy in any armed conflict for which the Department of Defense authorizes a campaign medal.
  • Vehicles registered to a person who has been awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.
  • Vehicles registered to a person who has been awarded the Purple Heart.
