(Hopewell Township, Pa) Attorney Kelly Tocci is a township resident and brought some major issues to the commissioners attention at Tuesday night’s meeting. She spoke of high grass, an abandoned home, and an abandoned vehicle on South Beverly Drive where there is a blind curve making it dangerous not only for motorists, but for children who ride their bikes. Zoning Officer John Bates told the commissioners he sent notices to the property owner, but the issues still exist. Solicitor Mike Jones said the property owner has been taken to court before. The township was advised that  they can seek a court injunction because the property owner to correct the situation isn’t living in the area.
