During the recent East Hanover Township Board of Supervisors meeting on March 27th, concerns were expressed about the future of the village of Ono, and an update was provided on a land development project.
Barb Mack, a concerned resident of Ono, shared her fears that the village may lose its zip code and become a Jonestown address. Mack expressed her strong desire to preserve the village and its history by placing signs that indicate where Ono is located. The board referred Mack to a local federal representative to address concerns about the post office issue. In addition, the board committed to exploring ways to preserve the Ono area on the township’s end.
On a positive note, the traffic engineer for Kreider Farms requested approval for the township to be the co-applicant on an additional Highway Occupancy Permit application pertaining to road improvements at the intersection of Pleasant View Rd and Mountain Rd (443). The township solicitor, Colleen Gallo, is drafting an agreement that states any developmental, legal, or stormwater fees incurred by the development will be reimbursed to the township for the cost. This agreement will be attached to the property, so if the property changes ownership, the new owner will be responsible for any future maintenance or upkeep of it.
The board’s decision to move forward with the land development project will improve road conditions and provide opportunities for further growth and development in the area. The township’s commitment to preserving Ono’s history and character shows their dedication to serving the community and ensuring that residents’ concerns are heard and addressed.
