Private fire company concept eyed in Buchanan Valley
Franklin Township residents discuss forming a private fire company after two failed attempts to overturn a township sanctioning denial. They cite distance from Cashtown and need for fire protection while outlining costs, equipment, and 24 hour readiness. They may remain a private entity or later seek township status.

Road takeover threats from state prompt county budget fears
Freedom Township supervisors warned that if a state bill to return 9.5 miles of road to townships becomes law the municipality could face bankruptcy. They estimate maintenance costs near 306000 over years, despite 1100 dollars per mile annual aid, and cited paving costs on Middle Creek Road. The meeting also discussed flood plan standards, a fire hall billing change, and strict mowing enforcement.

New law could bring agricultural areas in Adams County
Adams County farmers consider enrolling land in Agricultural Area Security Act districts to shield farms from future development rules while allowing districts to set farming-only zones. The act creates voluntary districts, 500 acres minimum, with a 30 day public comment period and seven year renewals, and does not halt all local ordinances but restricts enforcement inside districts.
