Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Abington public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Fall native plant sale at Abington Township Library
The fall plant sale is set for September 26 with 200 plants, supporting Bird Town habitat efforts. A Bird Town grant was received by Briar Busch.
MLK Jr. Day partnership with Willow Grove NAACP
The commission is waiting to hear back from Tony at the NAACP about collaborating on MLK Jr. Day; the NAACP's October 18 banquet may be a chance to connect.
Arbor Day Foundation software cost
The Commission's tree-giveaway software costs about $8,500 a year. Alternatives are cheaper but lack the Arbor Day name recognition and the boost in volunteer turnout and reduced no-shows the current platform delivers.
PRIDE crosswalk proposal
The commission is floating a PRIDE crosswalk somewhere in the township. The chair will talk with township staff about whether it's feasible.
2026-2027 EAC budget priorities
The council deferred a bigger budget discussion to the next meeting, floating ideas like a salt management program, supporting EV charging installations, and leveraging grant money with matching funds.
