#NewtownPA is putting out “Requests for Qualifications” (RFQ’s) seeking to perhaps hire a new engineering firm (especially Traffic Engineer) to replace RVE, and a new Audio/Visual company. In addition, a traditional Request for Proposal (RFP) has been issued for Various Banking Services (due by 4:00 PM, February 17, 2025) to replace TD Bank – a foreign-owned (Canadian) bank.

At the January 6, 2025, Newtown Board of Supervisors (BOS) public meeting, Bucks County NAACP Executive Board member, Barbara Simmons, proposed bringing the county’s latest community-based mural project to Newtown Township, Middletown Township and Newtown Borough.
Through the creation of community-created and inspired murals, the project seeks to bring groups together in an effort to break down barriers, to be inclusive rather than exclusive, to learn about each other and to embrace each other.
Similar mural projects have taken place in nearby Morrisville, Falls, Bristol Township and Bensalem. One is also planned in Doylestown.
“What we would like to do in Newtown. is use the highly-visible pedestrian bridge that connects George School and Newtown Borough above the Newtown Bypass (between Buck Road and South State Street),” Simons told the board of supervisors. “This would be a great place to have a unique mural that would use the chain link fence to display the artwork,” she said.

Back in early 2024, Ms. Simmons and I discussed my idea of initiating a “Love is Love” mural project in Newtown (see Meet Mack Monday 26 February 2024).
