Palmer Sells Municipal Property

The has approved the sale of municipal property to Suburban EMS for $1.

The property, a little more than an acre, features a building behind Surburban EMS that had been in disrepair.

"The township doesn't have use for it," Supervisors Chairman Dave Colver said. "Let them expand next door. I think this is a win-win for everybody. It really helps Suburban."

Township Solicitor Charles Bruno said the property is being sold as is.
