LEGAL NOTICE

NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the Upper Pottsgrove Township Board of Commissioners will hold a public hearing on Monday, October 15, 2012, at 7:30 p.m., during the course of its regular Board of Commissioner meeting, to begin at 7:00 p.m., at the Upper Pottsgrove Township Municipal Building, 1409 Farmington Avenue, Upper Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, to consider vacating 36,714 square feet of N. State Street, located near Route 100 and Upland Square Drive.

The proposal, if approved, would ultimately result in the construction of a cul-de-sac to be owned and maintained by Upper Pottsgrove Township on N.

Access to properties south of the proposed cul-de-sac would be achieved through private drive to be constructed from Upland Square Drive.

At the time of the hearing all interested parties may appear and be heard. At the conclusion of the hearing, the Board of Commissioners intend to enact an ordinance vacating and closing to public use the above described portion of N. State Street.

A complete copy of the proposed Ordinance has been provided to The Mercury, as well as, the Montgomery County Law Library and is available for public inspection at the Upper Pottsgrove Township Municipal Building, 1409 Farmington Avenue, Upper Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania.
