At their July 11, 2022 business meeting, the Springfield Township Board of Commissioners awarded a contract to Pennoni Associates to oversee building abatement and demolition activities at the former Tank Car property in Oreland. This award marks the next step in the Township’s ongoing effort to remediate the former industrial site for future redevelopment into a public park. Please note that this is only an award for engineering services. Actual abatement and demolition activity is not expected to begin until 2023.
Springfield Township is also excited to announce that it has been awarded a Community Conservation Partnership Program grant from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources to develop a master site plan for the former tank car site. No time has been set in developing this plan, so please check the township website for more details as they become available.
