RADNOR â Residents in Radnorâs Third Ward will be represented by their own commissioner once again.
Radnor Township officials approved the appointment of an interim commissioner to fill the vacancy created by the recent resignation of Damien Enderle.
At a special meeting, the six remaining commissioners and the chair of the township vacancy board selected Catherine H. Agnew to fill the seat until a special election is held in November.

Enderle announced last month that he was resigning from the post.
Agnew was picked over two other candidates, Baron Gemmer and Charles E. Madden III, who also applied for the post.
From an elected commissioner to township and borough management, there have been several announced changes in municipal leadership along the Main Line over the past week.
NARBERTH â At a recent Narberth Council meeting, officials announced that acting borough manager Matt West was leaving the borough for a new position in Bucks County.
West, who took over borough management in December after former manager Sean Metrick left for a new position in Chester County, will become township manager in New Britain Township, Bucks County.

During the same meeting, officials also announced that Samantha Bryant, the current manager of New Britain Borough, Bucks County, was being hired as Narberthâs borough manager.
RADNORÂ â An effort put forth by one Radnor commissioner to censure another member over a Twitter dispute quickly died as three Democrats joined a Republican to kill the action.
At a board meeting this week, Radnor Commissioner Sean Farhy, a Democrat, proposed the board censure a fellow commissioner, Republican Jake Abel, for blocking him on Twitter.
Farhy cited the 2019 case, Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University v. Trump, where a federal court upheld a lower courtâs decision that former president Trump violated the free speech clause of the First Amendment by blocking people on Twitter.

âThe blocking of both public officials and/or private citizens is a violation of the First Amendment which he swore to uphold when he took his oath of office. The Board of Commissioners should formally distance themselves from this type of unethical and immoral behavior which has now been deemed by a U.S. Federal Court as unconstitutional an
RADNOR â Radnor officials hope a grant will help them develop a plan to compete with other towns and attract new business to the townshipâs commercial districts.
At its most recent board meeting, the commissioners approved a motion to apply for a Keystone Communities Program grant designed to bring in a business district planner.
Commissioner Lisa Borowski said the planner would provide guidance and work with the Wayne Business Association and others, including some of the larger retail businesses and local universities.
