Dear Kennett Township Neighbor,
Kennett Township is considering a significant municipal expansion—one that could lead directly to higher taxes, increased spending, and more burdens on local families and homeowners. Many residents are concerned that this proposed growth is unnecessary, costly, and out of touch with what our community actually needs.
You have a voice in this decision, and now is the time to use it. A petition (on Change.org) has been launched by local residents calling for a stop to the expansion and for fiscal responsibility from our township leadership.
Important Info:
On November 5, 2025 - Board of Supervisors voted to advertise a budget that includes a .10 mil, or 2.8% tax increase, to fund a proposed municipal building expansion (including a $10 million police station).
The Board projects a roughly 20% tax increase over the next few years.
The Board is voting on the first tax increase at their December 3rd Public Meeting from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Want to take action and make your voice heard?
Plan to Attend the Board Meeting in person or via Zoom:
RSVP on our calendar, for meeting details and to let us know you're attending (if you can).
Review the Township Meeting Documents via link on our calendar.

Signing takes less than a minute and sends a clear message:
No new taxes on Kennett Township residents
No unnecessary expansion of government facilities
Yes to responsible budgeting and transparency
Yes to prioritizing community needs over costly projects
This issue affects every homeowner, renter, and taxpayer in Kennett Township. By standing together, we can help ensure that our township remains affordable, accountable, and focused on the right priorities.
If you agree that now is not the time to raise taxes or grow government, please take a moment to sign and share the petition with your friends and neighbors. Also, attend the meeting if you can.
Thank you for being an engaged and informed member of our community.
Sincerely,
Area 17 Republican Commitee of Chester County
