WEST MARLBOROUGH: The future of Doe Run Village

The future of Doe Run Village was briefly discussed at the June meeting of the West Marlborough Township supervisors.
Nancy Truitt, whose family owns the village, told the supervisors that she is 63 years old and her mother is 93, so they are thinking about doing some preliminary estate planning. She said several times that they very much want to preserve the village, which they purchased in the late 1980s when the King Ranch was broken up. She said she and her family are thinking about options for what to do with the restored village, which she said takes "a lot of effort to maintain," and want to work with the township during the process.
Bill Wylie, chairman of the supervisors, thanked Ms. Truitt for attending and characterized the village as a unique entity.
Doe Run, which is one 15-acre tax parcel, encompasses several rental houses along Route 82, a garage that the Truitts rent to the township, and a small office building used by the township and the Brandywine Conservancy. The Truitts also live in the village.
Ms. Truitt was accompanied by her attorney, Jim Thomas of Lancaster.
