Pennsbury’s ROTC marched into position, flags in hand, as The Men of Harmony sang a patriotic welcome to the Falls Supervisors at their first meeting in the newly reopened area, according to a Falls Township official.

The meeting originally scheduled for Feb. 23 was postponed to March 2 due to the “Blizzard of 26.”

Once the performances concluded, Supervisors Chair Jeffrey Dence called the meeting back to order, thanking Pennsbury ROTC and the Men of Harmony.

He explained that the Men of Harmony started out as the US Steel Choir when US Steel was still active. “We felt it appropriate for a town built on steel to have them here tonight.”

“We kicked things off in the best way,” Supervisors Vice Chair Erin Mullen said with enthusiasm, “The performances were extraordinary.”

To continue the celebration, the board has invited the public to an open house next Monday, March 9 from 6pm to 8pm, offering a tour of the building and providing some light fare snacks.

In addition, board members had nothing but praise for the building.

Mullin said “…This has been such a long time. Everybody, most people in this room know that countless people, companies, meetings, committees, and it’s just so nice. I can’t like when our meeting got rescheduled last week, it was just like a still a whole another week, and now it feels so good to finally be in here. I can hear everyone. It’s wonderful.”

During the meeting, the two tax assessment settlements approved by the board will result in increased school, county, and municipal taxes from 2022 through at least 2026. These changes stem from the Pennsbury School District settling tax disputes, said Solicitor Mike Clark, with properties like Village of Pennbrook 2 LLC and Royal Manor seeing assessment increases effective from 2022. The new assessments are set to remain in place unless altered by another successful appeal, a countywide reassessment, or legal change.

The Village of Pennbrook 2 LLC, located at 9071 Mill Creek Road, will have the property’s assessment increased from $4,320,000 to $5,184,000, said Clark, an increase in assessment of $864,000.

Royal Manor, located at 937 W. Trenton Ave., will have its assessment increased from $691,560 to $829,870, said Clark, an increase in assessment of $138,310.
