Township outlines move schedule for new municipal building and discusses sale of 2199 Buchert Road to Family Services
Summary
Lower Pottsgrove officials reported a punch list and elevator inspection remain for the new municipal building at 1963 E. High Street, scheduled furniture delivery and a Feb. 9 move window, and reviewed an initial draft Agreement of Sale for 2199 Buchert Road with Family Services' attorney; closing will be open‑ended until the move is complete.
Lower Pottsgrove Township officials said work on the new municipal building at 1963 E. High Street is nearing completion but several finishing items and an elevator inspection remain before staff move in.
Manager Edward C. Wagner said two walkthroughs this week produced a 16–17 page punch list of primarily cosmetic items—painting, spackling, fixture adjustments and cleaning—and that the contractor (Balton) aims to complete the list quickly. Another walkthrough is scheduled for Jan. 27 at noon. Wagner said the elevator inspection with the Department of Labor and Industry is the remaining item that could delay occupancy; furniture delivery is scheduled for Feb. 2 and staff were instructed to begin packing for a move starting Feb. 9 that could take up to two weeks. Mr. Lopez noted a missing door in the Police Department that must be addressed.
On the property at 2199 Buchert Road, Solicitor Jamie Ottaviano said Family Services won the bid and their attorney, Nicole Ellis, supplied an initial draft Agreement of Sale. Ottaviano said he has reviewed the draft, raised tax‑exemptness points and worked with Mr. Nick Perilli on legal descriptions tied to a minor subdivision. He said the closing date will remain open‑ended until the township fully occupies the new building.
There were no public objections during the meeting to the sale process as described.
