East Marlborough extends tax deadline, starts search for new supervisor

East Marlborough taxpayers have until the end of May to pay the discounted amount of their township property taxes. At their May 4 meeting, the township supervisors extended the discount period to May 31 and the face value period through Dec. 31 in an effort to ease the burden for property owners affected by the pandemic fallout. 
Also at the township meeting, the board passed an ordinance to formalize the township manager's position and accepted supervisor Julia Lacy's resignation, effective immediately, due to medical concerns. The remaining supervisors thanked her for her service and expressed their best wishes for her health. The supervisors must appoint a new member of the board within 30 days. Candidates need to be registered voters and must have lived in the township continuously for at least a year. 

Residents interested in the seat must submit a letter of interest and resume by 4 p.m. Friday, May 22, to township manager Neil Lovekin either by snail mail (721 Unionville Road, Kennett Square, PA 19348) or by email (nlovekin@eastmarlborough.org). The new supervisor's term will expire at the beginning of 2022.
