PECO & Arbor Day Energy-Saving Trees

PECO is partnering with the Arbor Day Foundation to provide customers with trees to plant strategically around their homes for environmental impact and energy savings. This year marks PECO’s 10th anniversary as an Energy-Saving Trees partner. PECO’s program has provided almost 10,000 free trees to customers. By planting trees around your home, you can add to your property value, reduce your carbon footprint, improve air quality and more effectively catch storm water runoff.  When fully grown, these trees can also help reduce the amount of energy your home uses.  Customers can reserve their trees now until the last week of April – act fast, as the trees go quickly! Trees can be picked up in each county on April 28th. Find more details and reserve your tree here: www.arborday.org/peco.

  •  The online portal allows customers to view their home and choose the correct tree species to maximize energy savings and environmental impact.
  • This year’s program will allow customers to pick up their trees in-person at different community sites. For a limited time, customers can also receive a 1 to 3-foot-tall seedling in a container delivered to their homes.
  • Only PECO customers may participate in the program.

PADOT Notice of Intent to Enter Letters

The Township was notified by PADOT that Notice of Intent to Enter Letters were sent to some residents near the Brownsville Road Bridge.

“This letter is to inform you of PennDOT’s recent mailing of Notice of Intent to Enter letters sent to some of your constituents for field surveys to be performed for the Brownsville Road Bridge over Neshaminy Creek Replacement Project in Lower Southampton and Middletown Townships, Bucks County.

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Eminent Domain Code permits entry upon private property to enable the department to conduct this operaiton.

The Notice of Intent to Enter letter emphatically states that the need for the department to access property at this stage of the project is no indicaiton that an acquisition will be necessary.  however, the language is, by necessity, official in tone and may generate some concern.”

If you have any questions, please contact the project manager, Judith Arena at 610-205-6524 or via email at jarena@pa.gov.
