NBCJMA Attorney Updates Status of Land Sale Request

At the 14 April 2026 Newtown Bucks County Joint Municipal Authority (aka Newtown Sewer Authority), Jessica L. VanderKam, Esquire, the Authority's Solicitor, responded to resident John Mack's questions regarding procedures with the Eminent Domain Judge to gain permission to sell the now-canceled proposed sewer treatment plant property on the open market. Recall that at the 10 March 2026 meeting, the NBCJMA solicitor confirmed that the previous owners did not accept the $11.5 million offer (see details here: https://sco.lt/6GGjho). Consequently, the Authority has "moved forward to ask the court for permission to sell the property." Mack's questions included: Is there a hearing/meeting set up with the Eminent Domain Judge.? f so, when is it and is it open to the public? If it is a public meeting, how do I get info on attending? A public hearing is scheduled for Monday, April 27, 2026, 9 AM, in Room 520 at the Bucks County Justice Center, 100 North Main Street in Doylestown, PA.
