East Buffalo Township Schedules Public Hearing On Ordinance Amendments

East Buffalo Township supervisors will consider proposed revisions to several chapters of the township Code of Ordinances at a public hearing scheduled for Monday, January 5, 2026, the township announced following agenda postings on December 30, 2025. The township posted Organization and Business agendas on its website and linked a formal public hearing notice on the East Buffalo Township news page.

"Notice is hereby given to the citizens and residents of East Buffalo Township, Union County, Pennsylvania, that the Supervisors of East Buffalo Township will hold a public hearing on Monday, January 5, 2026, at 5:30 PM at the East Buffalo Township Municipal Building, 589 Fairground Road, Lewisburg, Pennsylvania, to consider the adoption of an ordinance to amend multiple chapters of the Code of Ordinances regarding property maintenance, disposal of solid waste and brush and yard waste, parking, and driveways abutting private streets," the township notice states. Copies of the proposed ordinance are available during normal business hours at the municipal building and at the solicitor’s office.

The range of topics in the proposed amendments means the measures could affect everyday obligations and routines for many residents. Changes to property maintenance rules may alter responsibilities for exterior upkeep and structural standards for rental properties. Revisions addressing disposal of solid waste and brush and yard waste could modify pickup practices, allowable disposal methods, or curbside preparation requirements that homeowners and landscaping contractors follow. Parking provisions and rules governing driveways that abut private streets may reshape on-street and off-street parking behavior and access on private roadways, with implications for neighborhoods that rely on private streets for vehicle access.

The hearing is the formal opportunity for supervisors to receive public input before any vote to adopt the ordinance amendments. Residents, property owners, contractors, and local businesses that handle waste or rely on on-street parking should review the proposed language at the municipal building or the solicitor’s office during normal business hours to understand specific changes and prepare comments.

The posting of Organization and Business agendas signals routine township governance activity that precedes the hearing. The January 5 session will determine whether supervisors move forward with adoption or revise the proposals based on public testimony and solicitor recommendations. Attendance at the hearing offers the most direct avenue for residents to raise concerns, seek clarification, and influence how these local rules are shaped.
