Newtown Township Supervisor Jen Dix has announced she will resign from the board effective June 30.

Dix said she is resigning because her family is moving to New Hampshire.

"I want to stress that this decision is not at all related to the resignations made last month by Chief Pasqualini and our Township manager Kurt Ferguson. In fact our family’s move is something we have been contemplating long before I was aware the Chief and Mr. Ferguson would be stepping down," Dix said.

"It has been an honor and a privilege to serve the residents of Newtown Township. I have done my best to serve the community and have no regrets. I thank my fellow Board members both past and current and the Township administration for their collaboration to make Newtown an even better place to live," Dix said.
