I am giving Limerick Township Supervisor Ken Sperring a tip of the hat for thinking outside the box and asking mega developer O’Neill Properties Group to pay the salary for an additional township police officer.
O’Neill is building another shopping center next to the Philadelphia Premium Outlets in Limerick featuring Costco and other stores, which will further strain the township police department. Sperring is requesting that the developer pay the salary ($102,000 per year) for an extra police officer for the first three years after the project is completed.
Hopefully this becomes a trend!
