April 15, 2026 Committee Meetings

The Lower Merion Township Board of Commissioners held committee meetings on April 15, 2026, covering Grants and Community Development, Economic Development, and Building and Planning. Key procurement-related discussions included approval of an additional $32,000 for a residential rehabilitation project in Ardmore, increasing the total to $148,000 due to unforeseen repairs such as rewiring and sewer pipe replacement. The Grants Committee also approved a resolution to apply for a $3 million Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development Multimodal Grant with a required 30% private capital match to support the Ardmore Multimodal Transit Center project, involving a joint development effort with Amtrak. The Economic Development Committee approved the installation and replacement of wayfinding signage in Downtown Ardmore, funded by grants and private sponsorships with no fiscal impact on the township. The Building and Planning Committee recommended releasing $221,534 in escrow funds for improvements at 727 to 731 Montgomery Avenue and approved historical commission recommendations for signage and window modifications at 10 Monument Avenue and 61 Anderson Avenue. All motions passed unanimously, with no public opposition noted.
