The board approved awarding a five-year farming lease at the wastewater treatment facility to Wincrest Farms LLC at $485 per acre for 2026–2030; staff said the award will add roughly $6,000 in annual revenue compared with the prior contract.
Springettsbury Township’s Board of Supervisors voted to award the five-year farming lease at the township wastewater treatment facility to Wincrest Farms LLC. The winning bid was offered at $485 per acre for the 2026–2030 term; the board reported that the award will bring roughly $6,000 more revenue per year compared with the previous contract.
