Millcreek Township Residential Infill updates.
Ordinance Title 18 and 19 updates.
Effective October 2, 2007, the County Council has adopted an ordinance imposing a six-month moratorium on the processing of new land use applications or continued consideration of pending applications for check cashing/short term loan establishments. The basis for the moratorium is to provide additional time for the further investigation of potential county ordinance amendments regulating such uses as well as for additional coordination at the State level.
