UPPER MORELAND, PA — Fencing has been erected around a former township school building that is being prepared for demolition as local officials announced they had purchased the property.
Upper Moreland Township commissioners recently announced that the township had bought the Woodlawn School Building for $750,000, while at the same time approving the purchase of a tax exempt bond, or bonds, to find the improvements to the property, according to a social media post announcing the move.
The post by Upper Moreland Ward 1 Commissioner Nick Scull was shared by community members on a Facebook page for neighboring Horsham Township. It was shared just last week, but the original post appeared to be from late September, as Scull said settlement on the property had been scheduled for Sept. 30.
In the shared post, Scull stated that the former Woodlawn School building would be demolished and that the property would be regraded and have a grassy surface restored.
Scull said the bonds that were approved would be repaid during a 30-year period, which would raise township taxes by about $13 to $15 per household.
WHY, wondered Ruth Z Deming, would the taxes be raised?
Her mother wondered the same thing.
