No new STR licenses are being issued in residential districts, those with existing STR licenses AND a Certificate of Non-Conformance will be “grandfathered in.” Details on Jackson Township’s new STR rules are readily available from the township.

Jackson Township News

According to the World Animal Foundation, an average of 6.3 million pets enter U.S. shelters each year. With only 3,943 animal shelters in the U.S., animals are put into cramped and uncomfortable spaces for months at a time. 

While shelters are extremely beneficial for the unhoused animal populations, they are only a temporary solution.

With only 4.1 million pets adopted per year, shelter numbers are extremely high and difficult to manage financially and physically. 

The Jackson Corners one-room school has been refurbished but has undergone no COVID-19 modifications. It can be seen just as it was more than 80 years ago during an “open house” from 1 to 4PM, Saturday, September 19, 2020. The school is located at 234 Miller Drive, Appenzell – next to St. Mark’s Church. You’re invited to observe the educational surroundings of the Spanish Flu era, and to weigh the pros and cons of that simpler(?) time. No visitation charge and plenty of free parking. Staff from Pocono-Jackson Historical Society will be on hand as hosts.
