Mars Borough and Adams Township are a step closer to a merger.

Mars Borough and Adams Township are a step closer to a merger. On Monday, Mars Council voted 6-1 to approve an agreement with Adams. Russ Ford, Chair of the Adams Township Board of Supervisors says people are asking good questions about the proposed merger. On the Big K Morning Show, Ford said taxes haven't been raised in Adams since 1994. The referendum will be on the November ballot and if a majority of voters in both communities approve the merger the new name will be Mars Township.
