Chestnuthill Township supervisors moved forward with plans for Members 1st Credit Union to relocate into the former Rite Aid building, approving the land development plan contingent on several outstanding paperwork items.

The former pharmacy has stood vacant since it closed in June 2025 when the company declared bankruptcy.

In other business, supervisors discussed snow removal subcontractors and awarded a contract to Merwine’s Landscaping & Excavating at a rate of $165 per hour.

Girl Scout Troop 52333 thanked the township for allowing the troop to create a butterfly garden at the Little Mexico Trailhead. The project will help the Scouts earn the Silver Award, the second-highest honor in Girl Scouts.

Supervisors approved a $300 donation to help the Monroe County Constables Association establish a scholarship fund. The organization is seeking at least $3,000 to launch the program.

An agreement is pending for the sale of a township-owned property at 1796 Route 209 for $100,000. The sale is contingent upon the property being joined with an adjacent parcel owned by the buyer. Three Sun Valley lots offered for sale received no bids. Officials also noted that a new deed is needed for property at Route 115 and Russell Court before plans for that project can proceed.

Several payments were approved, including $10,350 and $11,498 to Xavier Landscaping for work on the township’s pickleball courts; $174,942.95 to Bruce George for the American Legion parking lot and handicap ramp project; and a $120,848.48 change order for Shiffer Bituminous related to work on Hypsie Gap Road.

The township’s 2007 Dodge truck was sold through Municibid for $525.

Supervisors also adopted resolutions authorizing the disposal of township and tax collector records from 2014 through 2018. Electronic copies of the records will be retained.

Marshall Lane will be getting a new name, “Liberty Lane.” The change was verified with the U.S. Postal Service to ensure no other township streets have that name.

The West End Fire Company reported 35 calls for September and a year-to-date total of 365 calls.

During public comment, Melissa Petrilak was the spokesperson for concerns about Skyview Circle.

Petrilak stated that she has lived there for 42 years and the road was never paved. She spoke to the roadmaster and was told the road was on a paving list, but the work never occurred. Supervisors asked her to give her contact information to the secretary so that a meeting could be set up to discuss paving the road.
