Chandler Hall—a long-standing nonprofit, Quaker-affiliated senior care and hospice community—is in the process of being sold to CIG/99 Barclay Propco LLC.
CIG/99 Barclay Propco LLC is a private, for-profit real estate holding entity structured to acquire and hold physical real estate assets, not senior care communities. It is likely, therefore, that the sale would result in the Chandler Hall property being converted into a for-profit senior living housing complex.
The Pennsylvania Office of Attorney General, or OAG, must review this transaction to ensure that it does not adversely affect the health needs of the community.

Newtown Walk resident Charles Feuer asked for updates on crosswalk and sidewalk projects...hears crickets!
The July 8, 2026, meeting of the Newtown Township Board of Supervisors addressed critical updates regarding regional land use, infrastructure maintenance, and public safety. The meeting was attended by four supervisors, with Kyle Davis noted as absent.
A significant portion of the session was dedicated to the Joint Municipal Zoning Ordinance (JMZO) amendment regarding data centers, which has undergone eight substantive and procedural revisions proposed by Wrightstown Township.
UPDATE 7/22/26: This was brought up again at the 22 July BOS meeting. The BOS refused to take any action to apply for a grant. Missed opportunity!

Comments:
Another very short (a mere 20 minutes), sparsely attended, BOS meeting! In dact, Mr. Feuer was the only resident in attendance.

Residents and officials in Upper Makefield recently confronted representatives from Energy Transfer and Sunoco regarding a Remedial Action Plan for a massive jet fuel leak.
Image: Kim Brunnquell came to the podium with a tube covered in plastic. When she unwrapped the canister-shaped filter, she said it had been white when installed at her home three months ago. It was supposed to last a year but the contaminants it was filtering out of her well water had already stained it almost black.

Comments:
State Sen. Steve Santarsiero, D-10, and Newtown Township resident John Mack asked if Sunoco was checking for other potential leaks along the 105-mile long, 70-year-old pipeline. The pipe carries jet fuel from Sunoco refineries in Delaware County through the Philadelphia suburbs, across the river and on to Newark, N.J.

The July 14, 2026, meeting of the Newtown, Bucks County, Joint Municipal Authority (NBCJMA) focused on the finalization of the 2026/2027 fiscal budget, infrastructure maintenance, agreement to sell the Lower Silverlake Rd property*, and the resurgence of a significant private telecommunications project.
Perhaps the most important issue for residents was the "Agreement to Sell or Letter of Intent re: Sale of Lower Silver Lake Rd Property." This item was "tabled" to be taken up at a future special meeting, which will be held at 2 PM on 28 July 2026 at 15 S. Congress St, in Newtown Boarough. Read more about that here...

*Can it be that 42 University LLC made another more acceptable offer to purchase the land back? What will be the offer? Will the Sewer Authority rescind the rate increase it imposed to cover the cost of its original purchase of the land? This is what residents want to know.
