• New Sign Ordinance Weighed In Hatboro (patch.com) — Hatboro officials are working with county planners and consultants on a new sign ordinance aimed at modernizing regulations, improving commercial corridors, and supporting local businesses without forcing existing signs to change. The effort follows complaints from Hatboro residents about bright, energy-intensive signs at Dunkin' and Papa John's, which some say disrupt the borough's quiet, small-town character at night.
   

• Hatboro Hosting State Pickleball Championship (patch.com) — Hatboro will be the center of Pennsylvania's pickleball scene as Dill Dinkers Hatboro on South Warminster Road hosts the 2026 state championship Sept. 19-20, with both v3 and mixed-team formats.
