NOTICE The Bensalem Township Council meeting scheduled for Monday, July 28, 2025 has been canceled. Scheduled business will be heard at the next meeting to be held on Monday, August 11, 2025 at 7:00 P.M. in the Council chambers of the Bensalem Township Municipal Building at 2400 Byberry Road, Bensalem, PA 19020. Joseph Knowles, Council President  This past week, Bensalem Township passed an ordinance to authorize the police pension plan, allowing officers to purchase service credit for prior police service under PA Act 49 of 2024. This ordinance was unanimously approved by the Township Council and signed into effect by Mayor Joe DiGirolamo. This ordinance will allow officers who have previously served in other jurisdictions to purchase up to five years of prior police service, allowing them to retire early and enjoy life without the daily stress of policing.
This ordinance mirrors the service credit benefit we have been able to give to our Military Veterans for years. Director William McVey, a strong supporter of this benefit, states, “The passage of this ordinance is another example of Mayor DiGirolamo’s and the Council’s unwavering support of the members of our police department. My command staff and I are proud to have worked on this ordinance with PBA President Chris Terinoni and the Mayor’s Administration. Our police officers put their lives on the line every day serving our community, so affording them this opportunity was the right thing to do.” The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) announced today that paving is scheduled next week on U.S. 1 in Bensalem and Middletown townships under a $116 million project to reconstruct, widen, and improve a three-mile section of U.S. 1 in Bucks County.
