Township moves to advertise park-alcohol ordinance, approves liquor-license transfer and trail signage

The Springettsbury Township Board of Supervisors voted on a package of non-development business on May 14: they authorized advertising an ordinance to allow alcohol at certain township-sponsored park events, approved a resolution to transfer a retail liquor license, and approved placement of wayfinding signs for the September 11 National Memorial Trail.

Ordinance advertisement: staff described an ordinance amending park rules to permit alcohol at specific township-sponsored events dispensed by a township vendor. Manager/Staff and solicitor prepared the language; the board agreed the item was for advertising rather than adoption, noting it will come back for formal consideration after the advertisement period.

Liquor-license transfer: the board approved Resolution 2026-40 to transfer retail liquor license ID 843 to Legacy Beer and Beverage Inc., 3300 East Market Street, York. Supervisor (Speaker 5) moved for approval and the board voted in favor. A board member asked if the license owner (Brewery Products, per the agenda) was selling the asset rather than operating the business; staff confirmed that was correct.

Trail signage and other business: the board approved placement of September 11 National Memorial Trail wayfinding signs along the township route after staff said PennDOT had already approved them; the supervisors described the municipal action as a formality. The board also acknowledged the resignation of David Heltzel with regrets and adjourned the meeting.

Next steps: the park-ordinance advertisement will enter a public notice period and return to the board for adoption consideration; the liquor-license transfer was approved and will be handled per state licensing procedures.
