West Bradford Township Cuts Property Taxes in Half
•
West Bradford Township, Pennsylvania, is making headlines with a significant reduction in property taxes, thanks to strategic planning and favorable market conditions. After purchasing the Embreeville State School and Hospital and transforming it into open space, the township refinanced debts at low interest rates and locked in better long-term leases. These moves, along with cost controls, resulted in substantial savings that the board decided to return to taxpayers. While many local governments are raising taxes due to tight budgets, West Bradfords move is a rare exception, with experts noting its unusual for local governments to reduce property taxes. The town manager attributes this to being in the right place at the right time, and while he doubts others can replicate it soon, the township plans to continue focusing on core duties and giving back when possible.
