Mission Green
70 Shady Lane

                                   MissionGreenFrontMissionGreenBack

 61 Units   in Abington Twp  with 19046 Jenkintown zip

             

The confusion is in the address --Is 70 Shady Lane part of 8400 Pine Rd? Is this is a separate 61 units  - or all part of the 136 acres owned by the Medical Mission Sisters that is being developed as 549 units in 2021

2-11 - Sisters came before Board to ask for 61 units on what we think is about 19 acres zoned CS . 

12-12 - Here is the 2012 approval to build 61 apartments is noted -- Right adjacent is the rest of the  Medical Mission Sisters  property on 8400 Pine Rd  with a plan for a 549 unit project . We are unsure if the Mission Green 61 units is part of the 549 count or in addition to it .   https://patch.com/pennsylvania/abington/abington-code-enforcement-committee-oks-sisters-apartments   
Abington Township
approved the 61 units 12-12 and then the Abington Code Enforcement and Land Development Committee approved the final land development application of Medical Mission Sisters for the construction of  the 61 new units  The apartments would be built as an addition to the organization's existing administration building. And the 59,400 square-foot, 4-story building would serve as housing for retired Catholic sisters as well as elderly low-income residents — the split would be about 60/40. The apartments were to be  partially funded through a grant from the Philadelphia Housing Authority; conditions of the grant include income limits.

Abington Township revamped the entire Township website at the end of 2015 and broke all the links to the information. In 2017, under Richard Manfredi, someone inexperienced was assigned to redo the entire website again. The public was not asked what problems they would like to see fixed. Their new plan was not well thought out, so everything was very hard to find and there were giant paragraphs you had to slog through in order to find the pertinent one or two lines that you needed. Or if you were lucky enough to even find the meetings and agenda page, there was (and still is) a whole page of nonsense on top, so you think you're on the wrong page. Zoom limks are burrid in a giant paragraph, so people can't find them to attend the meeting. They know about these  problems - but have just decided to ignore us.... for the whole of Richard Manfredi's time here (with Tom Hecker's consent).

 Now, in 2025, we are due to get a new Manager, and there are funds put aside to, once again, upgrade the Township website. We can only hope for a fresh chance at fixing some of these things, as our Township website is the best tool we have for communication and should be an easy, user friendly site for all.

We need volunteers willing to work together to help improve the Township site that everyone has to use,  to make it functional and accessible. 

 We will be repairing our broken links in this Abington Citizens site, too, and fixing some of our many, many typo's as much as is possible. (Yes, it's quite evident that, unlike the Township, WE don't have a paid staff of 275+ or a $93 million budget).

 So...please let us know if you find broken links or typos. Send us the URL and/or and the name of the page it is on, so we can correct it.
Thanks for the help.
