Springettsburg Township

June 21, 2022 – Our club was delighted to have two club members and the Springettsbury Township's Manager update us on the police department and administrative building projects.  Police Chief Todd King, Township Supervisor Charles Wurster and Mark Hodgkinson reviewed the major upgrade — with plans to move into a new 30,000 square foot facility by the end of 2022.  "It's is an extensive project, and we're really excited for it," King said. "The current police station is 71 years old — it outlived its usefulness. The Springettsbury Township Police Department, located at 1501 Mount Zion Road, was initially used as the municipal township office when it was built. King said the current building, which is 11,000 square feet, is too small and needs upgrades to the HVAC and electrical systems. The new police building will have upgraded security, more space to store equipment and a secure parking lot — all things that King said is important for his department  One year into a $17 million construction project and the new Springettsbury Township Police Department is on track, despite supply chain disruptions. “It will basically be a one-stop-shop for the residents of Springettsbury” said Springettsbury Township Manager Hodgkinson. Much of the shell of the new 30,000 square foot project is complete as designers combine a new police headquarters with a major renovation to the existing township building. But, the replacement of the 1950-built police department is not coming along without drama. In the initial stages, we had some supply chain issues. We had problems getting some supplies. Our companies have been working through that and they've done a great job with it and now things are starting to loosen up a little bit. The new footprint will triple the current size of police headquarters. The officials also reviewed several other projects and answered our questions about our township.
