Commonwealth v. Richmond Township and its Board of
Supervisors
(No. 360, M.D. 2006). On
February 20, 2007,
Pennsylvania’s Commonwealth
Court handed down its decision
in Commonwealth v. Richmond
Township and its Board of
Supervisors (No. 360, M.D.
2006). The Attorney General
exercised his authority under
ACRE to address enforcement of
Richmond Township’s 2000
ordinance that imposed a variety
of restrictions on intensive
agricultural operations in the
Township that are inconsistent
with other state policies and
statutes. Unlike some of the
other recent cases, this case
plainly involved a local
community seeking to enforce an
ordinance that existed prior to
ACRE’s being in effect. |
