The Cheltenham Chamber of Citizens, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, recently published the results of their 2023 annual meeting which polled participants on their views related to the future of 16 public facilities* owned by Cheltenham Township.

According to CCC’s website, “The questions ranged from how the participants felt about centralization of services to how effective communication has been on this issue.”

From CCC’s website:

As part of the Five Year Financial Plan (FYFP) the Township is discussing the future of Township-owned buildings and facilities.  All Township-owned buildings are under scrutiny. Options include selling, repurposing, replacing, or repairing/improving these capital assests and centralizing some services. Public awareness and participation is vital in this process. Several  presentations on current facility conditions document the result of years of deferred maintenance.  Below are links to the September 2021 meetings and presentations.

*Township-owned buildings and facilities include the Richard Wall House, LaMott Community Center, Rowland Community Center, Cheltenham/Elkins Park/Glenside libraries, Conklin/Glenside pools, Glenside Memorial Hall, Glenside Library, Curtis Hall, Cheltenham Center for the Arts, among others.
