By Dakota Hendricks

DINGMAN — The Dingman Township Supervisors approved a DEPG subdivision for the Dingman Center project.
The approval is the next step in "Phase One" of the Dingman Town Center project. At a previous meeting, DEPG CEO Jim DePetris presented his vision for the Town Center, which would include medical facilities, a convenience store, senior townhouses, restaurant, gas station and health club. The development is expected to take several phases. Phase One includes a convenience store, while Phase Two includes the senior town housing, restaurant and health club.
The project is located near the Wells Fargo Bank at the intersection of Log Tavern Road and Route 739.

The Dingman Park Pavilion project was completed as of Wednesday November 27th. The Park is currently closed to the public for the winter and will reopen next year.
The Board approved the updated fee schedule and a zoning amendment that includes a series of miscellaneous improvements including signage, noise, parking etc. The full text will be available on the Dingman Township website.
Dingman Township Volunteer Fire Department said they responded to 98 EMS calls and 30 fire calls in November and 1,506 calls year to date. Chief O'Brien said the department has achieved 50 percent nationally certified membership. The EMS grant request by the Fire Department has been approved.
The Township Parks and Recreation Committee submitted several ideas to the Board and requested the approval of the Car Show and Scarecrow in the Park event. The Board is considering a request by the Committee to allow a pet adoption during the Car Show.
A public meeting will be held during the December 17th Supervisors meeting about the Sawkill Creek Bridge Project. PennDOT is planning major rehabilitation of the bridge, which carries Route 206-209 over the Sawkill near the Dingman Township-Milford border.
