Upper Providence Township Council is planning to acquire a piece of land near the intersection of North Providence Road and Route 1. Ordinance No. 570 would “effectuate the purchase of and acquire the real property known as 1401 N. Providence Road … by either negotiation or eminant (sic) domain,” according to a public notice. The township cites a need for more space to house the equipment and offices of the public works department. The property has been appraised at $512,500. The owners have listed the property for sale at a higher price but indicated a willingness to sell at the appraised value to avoid condemnation proceedings.
