Municipal Budget Files Go Public Ahead of Wednesday Work Session
Feasterville Trevose, PA · October 12, 2026
With municipal offices quiet for the federal holiday, the neighborhood gets a calm breath after a full weekend of autumn festivities and fire safety demonstrations. Things pick right back up midweek with public budget talks on the township calendar.
The Lead
Ahead of Wednesday’s first round of public budget workshops, Lower Southampton Township has released the complete documentation of its ongoing contract negotiations with the Police Benevolent Association. The administration uploaded its latest formal collective bargaining proposal directly to the municipal portal, offering residents an unfiltered look at wage, benefit, and staffing discussions before elected leaders dive into the 2027 fiscal plan.
Because police operations represent the single largest share of the township's annual operating fund, the unresolved labor agreement is the central variable facing supervisors as they prepare to balance next year’s books without unexpected tax adjustments. Both sides continue formal talks behind closed doors, but publishing the terms allows residents to study the exact figures in advance. Township officials will take questions on initial revenue projections when the Board of Supervisors gathers for its work session Wednesday at 6:30 PM.

Spotlight & Story
- Neshaminy Creek Railroad Viaduct Arching high above the tree line where the creek skirts Trevose, this multi-span stone viaduct was built during the late-nineteenth-century Reading Railroad expansion. Its hand-cut ashlar masonry piers still bear the daily rumble of freight trains crossing forty feet overhead.
