According to What's the 422, Limerick planners approved a new gas station at the corner of Township Line Road and Ridge Pike.

The station will be part of the Giant Food Store on the Upper Providence side of Township Line Road. The gas station used to be a Valero but now sits empty.

The plans included five pumps, with none of them offering diesel, which the planning board said might not be wise. Planners suggested that diesel would be a good offering since the closest gas station, a Wawa, doesn't offer it.

The plan now moves on to the Board of Supervisors for approval.

Lower Pottsgrove is doling out $3,000 to three nonprofits that benefit township residents, according to the Sanatoga Post.

The Visiting Nurse Association, Lower Pottsgrove Historical Society and Pottstown Senior Center all received charitable contributions that restore their funding from the township to past levels. The township had originally planned to give only 50 percent of the requested funding to the organizations in order to balance their budget. The Pottstown library had been among those who would've suffered, but a vote turned those cuts around.
