The Lower Paxton Township Board of Supervisors’ business meeting was held November 2, 2026. Supervisors discussed the proposed 2027 budget and an anticipated deficit of nearly $900,000, with concerns about reserve levels, legal costs, and future fire-service expenses. The board approved a resolution creating a capital lease fund, allowing the township to use fund balance to finance future capital equipment purchases and repay the fund with interest. The board also discussed a proposed special election on repealing the township’s additional library tax; the transcript does not capture a final vote on that resolution.

The board approved a GHD study of options for the Conway Road compost facility, with fees not to exceed $60,000 without further written authorization; approval was conditioned on filing settlement documents related to an environmental appeal, and the vote passed 3–1. It also approved HRG’s annual groundwater monitoring proposal for the closed landfill; discussion referenced a cost of about $15,000, potentially rising to $20,000. The board awarded the Hidden Lake Drive culvert replacement project to J. Phillips Excavating and Hauling LLC, subject to solicitor review and satisfactory reference checks; no award amount was stated. Other infrastructure work discussed included sewer and stormwater projects, some planned for future bidding, and a grant-funded sewer extension serving 12 homes.
