Upper Darby Township Environmental Advisory Committee Meeting July 14, 2026

The Upper Darby Township Environmental Advisory Committee met on July 14, 2026, to discuss several environmental issues impacting the community. A key topic was the proposed rezoning of the 15-acre Mosino tract, the last undeveloped land in the township, with the committee expressing strong opposition due to environmental and community concerns. They discussed drafting a formal letter to the township council recommending against rezoning, emphasizing the importance of preserving open space, mature trees, and quality of life for residents. The committee also touched on ongoing efforts to formalize their status and secure a budget, as well as plans to advance a plastic bag reduction ordinance, promote pollinator gardens, and engage youth in environmental education. Additionally, the committee reviewed a letter from the Shade Tree Commission advocating for preservation of the Mosino tract and discussed environmental risks related to a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) facility, considering potential resolutions to oppose such developments. No specific procurement actions, contract awards, or budget allocations were reported during the meeting.
