The Penn Township Board of Supervisors is set to consider a proposed ordinance aimed at regulating overgrown vegetation, yard waste and illegal dumping. The proposed ordinance would classify weeds, grass and other vegetation exceeding 12 inches in height, along with dumped grass clippings and yard waste, as nuisances, while outlining enforcement procedures, abatement costs and penalties for violations. The measure also includes limited exceptions and provisions addressing noxious vegetation and dead trees in certain circumstances. The board will consider the ordinance during its regularly scheduled meeting on Tuesday, June 2, at 6 p.m. at the Penn Township Building.
