The Falls Township Board of Supervisors (BOS) held an open house, Monday evening, at the newly reimagined municipal building with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and tours led by the board and Township Manager John Shepherd.
The public was in attendance along with the Twp. mascot -Archie-. Additionally, Bucks County Commissioner Bob Harvie, a former Falls Supervisor Chairman, former Falls Supervisors Jim Prokopiak and Phil Szupka were also in attendance.

Falls is a second-class township, but Harvie quipped of the building: “This is definitely a first-class township building.”
The building reflects the township’s past and accommodates its future growth. Construction started in October 2023 and continued through February 2026. Reconstruction and expansion maximized the available space to meet each department’s needs and accommodate future expansions, said a Falls Twp. official.

The building now features brand-new mechanical, electrical, air conditioning, and plumbing systems. Energy-saving equipment and LED light fixtures have been installed throughout. This two-story, 61,056-square-foot building gives the police department more space by approximately 20 percent. It also features improvements to administration, code enforcement, fire marshal, finance, parks and recreation, police, clerks, tax collectors, and public works departments. It also features a transition from a public meeting room to a community room that can be used by residents and local groups. The municipal building also consists of shared conference rooms, incubator space for start-up businesses, support and amenity space. All municipal functions are conveniently located on the first floor, near the main entrance, for the convenience of seniors and other visitors with limited mobility. An elevator was installed to make accessing the second floor easier, authorities said.

This building is also more welcoming and easier to navigate, with an enhanced front vestibule and better signage, said an official.
The municipal building is located at 188 Lincoln Hwy in Fairless Hills.
