Welcome to Hanover Township, a thriving progressive community with diverse industry, housing, recreation quality schools, public buildings, shopping areas and elected officials that are very optimistic about its future. Hanover Township is 21 square miles is bordered on the Northeast by the City of Wilkes Barre, on the Southwest by the city of Nanticoke, on the Northwest by the Susquehanna River and extends to the top of the Penobscot Mountain on the East. The population of Hanover Township is 10,648. The property tax rate of 5.5 mills has been maintained for the past three years. 2011 was a progressive year in Hanover Township with the completion of the Safe Route to School project which provided sidewalks in areas for children walking to schools as well as cross walks. Additional new black and white cruisers were purchased for the 16 officer police department under the direction of Chief Al Walker, as were tasers. Two new full time police officers were hired. A vehicle weighing and measuring program has been established and will become effective in 2012. The road department received a new refuse packer and a second packer is planned to be purchased in 2012 to replace older vehicles as are road department dump trucks. A gaming grant application for construction of a new centralized fire station has been applied for which when received would provide a tax payer cost savings structure to Hanover Township. The fire department will purchase the ground that the new building will be constructed on. Starting in 2012 the fire department will provide 24 hour seven day a week paid driver coverage. With the cooperation of the Northeastern Pennsylvania Alliance Township Traffic Signal Housing and LED replacement was provided for all traffic lights in the Township. A 1.2 million dollar sewer construction project will begin in 2012 for public sewers in the Truesdale Terrace/Witinski’s Villa section of the Township, to be funded in part by a H20 grant, gaming grant funds and a Pennvest loan. The Commissioners will continue to provide a community that is progressive, fiscally responsible and have the safety of the residents as its paramount concern.
