Posted
Northampton Township is dedicated to keep the community informed, active and engaged during COVID-19.

The township Board of Supervisors, Emergency Management Services, police and fire departments are diligently addressing the up-to-date briefings and protocols to keep everyone’s safety in the forefront. All aspects of administration, finance and zoning are on hand to assist residents with any questions, problems, code compliance, trash issues and more.

Though business has not been “as usual,” Parks and Recreation, the library and the senior center are adapting to this vastly different world to keep the community engaged. Parks and Recreation has created a Virtual Recreation Center providing virtual classes, daily activities, weblink resource center, list of local restaurants open for take-out, family Facebook Live game nights and much more.
