Marlborough Township Manager/Secretary Marybeth Cody announced that the preliminary draft of the township’s 2025 budget includes a $200,000 deficit. The budget shortfall has created a significant obstacle for the township’s plan to replace essential equipment for the Public Works department, including a truck, a chipper, a spreader, a loader and a diesel fuel tank. A second draft of the budget was to be discussed at the Oct. 28 work session. In other news, the supervisors discussed township property on Swamp Creek Road and whether to sell it. Solicitor Mark Cappuccio reminded the supervisors that any sale must be publicly advertised. The next monthly Marlborough Township board of supervisors meeting will be held on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 7 p.m.
