William Penn School Board Rejects Daytime Talks

Legislation authorizing the sale of two Delaware County properties sits on Gov. Casey's desk awaiting his signature. One tract of 1.6 acres near the Bartondale PennDOT garage is to be sold to Middletown Fire Co. for a new station, while the Chester Armory at 8th and Sproul is set for sale to private interests with a minimum price at least equal to the appraised value of 82,500. Officials note the fire company seeks space and faster response. Chester officials push for armory sale to private buyers to meet needs.
