Upper Darby Township Council Meeting August 5th, 2026

The Upper Darby Township Council held a meeting on August 5, 2026, which included a reorganization of council leadership with new appointments for president, vice president, and secretary. The council approved several resolutions related to appointments to various boards and committees, including the Planning Commission and Zoning Hearing Board. A significant procurement-related discussion involved the approval of a preliminary and final land development plan for El Car Wash at 832 North Lansdowne Avenue, a redevelopment project transforming a long-vacant commercial property into a modern car wash facility with environmental enhancements such as stormwater management and increased landscaping. The council also authorized an intergovernmental cooperation agreement with Delaware County to secure $157,754 in funding, which is necessary to unlock nearly $985,000 in federal home funding for the township. Additionally, the council approved an ordinance for lead poisoning prevention and hazard control, reflecting community health concerns. Other topics included public safety, environmental preservation, and community services, but no other direct procurement or contracting actions were noted.
