(Center, Twp. Pa.) Center Twp. Supervisors met via ZOOM but that didn’t stop a group of citizens living near Union Cemetery from airing their opinion about a request for a crematory to be built by Calvin Sheffield. Some of the comments referred to the effect on the health and safety of residents, and the environment in the low density residential area which is also in close proximity to Penn State Beaver..
The zoning Hearing Board hasn’t rendered a decision that would be submitted to the supervisors who have the final say, according to Supervisors’ Chairman Bill Dicioccio, Jr.
The supervisors announced that there won’t be a tax increase in 2021. The new budget is $8.276,127.00, and real estate taxes remain at 10.5 mills.
