As some of you know, as of last month, we have a new email newsletter in town, "Discover Lansdowne".
This wonderful newsletter is published by the LEDC (Lansdowne Economic Development Corporation).
"Discover Lansdowne" will become your bi-monthly newsletter with news, events around town & more.

As a result, "Lansdowne Announce" will become your QUARTERLY newsletter with coupons, business
specials, events, and borough news. With these two email newsletters, you will get the information you
need to be informed and involved in your community.

Welcome to the Winter Edition of Lansdowne Announce!

Lansdowne Borough
Preparing New Updated Zoning Code

In order to improve our community and keep Lansdowne a nice place to live, work, and shop, our borough has been working diligently on updating our zoning code. In this long process, there have been many public meetings which were advertised in the news papers and announced at borough council meetings. Community members from business, government, organizations, and more have already participated. As this process nears completion, every interested party is invited to view the proposed zoning code. You can get a copy of the 161 page document by contacting borough hall and requesting it via email or on disc. If you have input, you are encouraged to contact Steve Travers or Craig Totaro, 610-623-7300.
This is your community. Your opinion matters!

We want to let all of Lansdowne know about your Kid's Events.

Featured Pet: Fluff and Brownie

Orange Fluff is the loving one who is sweet and playful and Brownie is utterly bonded to Orange Fluff! Brownie is the shy one, is vocal when you talk with him, and playful, but he's not the smushy lap cat. Neither of them are aggressive in anyway, and are completely vetted and healthy. They need a home where first and foremost they can stay together, but more importantly with someone who is willing to give Brownie time to adjust and trust. Animal Friends of Lansdowne
