The Township of Smithfield in Monroe County, PA, will conduct a public hearing during its regular business meeting on April 22, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. at the Township Municipal Center. The purpose of the hearing is to discuss and potentially adopt Township Ordinance No. 264, which aims to rezone four parcels totaling 3.32 acres from no designation to the ED (Economic Development) Zoning District. These parcels were previously designated as ED but were inadvertently omitted from the official zoning map during a previous map change. The public is encouraged to attend, offer comments, and witness the Board's decision on this zoning change, which will impact the development and land use in the area. The full text of the proposed ordinance is available for public examination at designated locations.*
