Picture of demolition 02/15/2020

East Norriton Taco Bell is getting a new neighbor this spring/summer when Starbucks moves into the former KFC location. The KFC has been closed for many years and this move will see Starbucks currently located in the same shopping center relocate. The move allows Starbucks to operate with a drive-thru which is currently lacking in the existing location.

There is no official opening date, demolition is currently underway. The shopping center is owned and managed by Tornetta Realty.

Colonial School Board Proposes Preliminary Budget, 4.5% Tax Increase, Discount for Seniors

This month the Colonial School Board proposed their $139M "preliminary" budget with a 4.5% increase proposed in the millage rate and spending. Due to the election year and how early the primary is being held, the deadline to submit their plan under Act 1 was moved up to comply with State law. Dave Szablowski, District Business Administrator, gave a detailed explanation of the numbers. Mr. Szablowski cited increased enrollment, special needs (1:5 students), debt servicing (new middle school) and transportation as the top reason driving increases (16:30 mark)

Board Finance Committee Chair Adam Schupack noted the very preliminary stage of the budget and added the numbers will look different when a final budget is approved in June.

The Board also tackled the long-standing issue of tax relief for Seniors (24:07 mark). There is a major concern on the yearly increases and how this impacts the aging population who is looking to stay in their homes. The Board approved a program that will piggy-back on the already established state rebate system. If you qualify for the State program, you will get the Colonial match. Eligible residents will have to submit their PA-1000 Tax forms and all corresponding documentation to receive the 30% match. To learn more about the State program click here. The program is expected to cost the district $100,000 in its first year.

Finally, the Board approved the signing of documents to make the purchase of the Romano Bus property final. (33:10 mark)
