WHERE: MARPLE TOWNSHIP BOARD MEETING ROOM

WHY: Marple Zoning Hearing Board will supplement the record and introduce [new] evidence.

BE THERE TO SUPPORT THE MARPLE ZONING HEARING BOARD AGAINST PECO, AND PROTECT THE CORNER OF SPROUL AND CEDAR GROVE ROADS.

On August 27, 2021, Judge Whelan, presiding over “Peco Energy Company v. Marple Township Zoning Hearing Board”, sent the case back to the Marple Zoning Hearing Board (MZHB) "...for an additional hearing at which time [MZHB] may supplement the record and introduce evidence as set forth in [PECO’s] Motion. [PECO] may have an opportunity to respond at said hearing.”

WITH THE CASE RETURNING TO THE MARPLE ZONING HEARING BOARD, PECO WILL AGAIN COME BEFORE THE MZHB. THE RESIDENTS OF MARPLE TOWNSHIP NEED TO BE THERE TO SUPPORT THE MZHB.
