Newtown BOS vs Stark & Stark SIgn
A request for zoning variances regarding a new wall sign for law firm Stark and Stark at 2 Caufield Place touched a raw nerve at the 28 January 2026 Newtown Board of Supervisors (BOS) meeting. Peggy Driscoll - Chair of the Newtown Planning Commission (PC) - recommended that the BOS take no action at the Zoning Hearing Board (ZHB) regarding this request due to the sign’s recessed design and the tenant’s occupancy of an empty building. Supervisor Calabro, however, expressed significant opposition, raising concerns that the proposed sign is nearly double the allowed size. A resident noted that the huge sign serv...

Newtown Fire Rescue: The Pivot to Full Integration
The differences between the 2026 Fire Services Agreement and the 2020 Fire Services Agreement touch upon the duration of the agreement, organizational structure, funding specifics, operational requirements, and reporting details. To summarize the operational shift: the 2026 agreement reflects a more integrated and formalized structure ("Newtown Fire Rescue") that relies heavily on a unified "Operations Manual," while eliminating specific performance metrics (like response times and specific initial funding) and detailed internal procedures found in the 2020 document, moving those details into the new manual or generalized language. It also introduces the Township's right of refusal on equipment. This agreement between Newtown Township and the...
