What happened: Eric Adkins resigned as chair of the Leacock Township Planning Commission effective immediately.
Background: Because Adkins has decided to move to a home outside the township, he is no longer eligible to serve on the planning board. State law requires that every board member reside within the township they serve.
Whatâs next: Amos Stoltzfoos, vice chair of the planning commission, expects to serve as interim chairperson until Jan. 1. The township will open its search for a suitable replacement. No likely candidates were named at this time.
