Hempfield Township

What Hempfield Township does

East Hempfield Township is a second-class municipal government entity organized under Pennsylvania state law, serving residents and commercial/industrial entities within its defined jurisdiction in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Headquartered at 1700 Nissley Rd, Landisville, PA, the township is governed by an elected Board of Supervisors and operates through interconnected departments delivering public safety, public works, parks and recreation, water and sewer, trash and recycling, planning and zoning, and stormwater management services. The township maintains a significant recreational real estate portfolio including the 220-acre Four Seasons Golf Complex (acquired 1989), the 56-acre Amos Herr Park, the 50-acre Nolt Road Park future site, and Noel Dorwart Park with trail infrastructure.

Core service delivery is anchored by municipal administrative infrastructure built on a Revize-powered website (easthempfield.org) with online payment and E-Notify email subscription capabilities, a Crimewatch PA-hosted police notification platform, and multi-channel resident communications including Facebook, YouTube, and Nextdoor. The township operates an MS4 stormwater management program for compliance with Pennsylvania DEP and EPA Phase II stormwater requirements, supported by partnerships with the Lancaster County Clean Water Consortium, Little Conestoga Watershed Alliance, and Chiques Creek Watershed Alliance. Trash and recycling collection is outsourced to Casella Waste Systems, which now handles direct customer service intake from residents.

As a municipal government rather than a commercial entity, East Hempfield Township does not generate revenue in the traditional sense. Operations are funded primarily by local property taxes, supplemented by fee-based services including pavilion rentals, park field/court use, and special event permits. Capital projects are partially funded by state grants (e.g., the 2022 DCNR grant for Amos Herr Park Phase 2 improvements). The township publishes annual budgets and audited financial statements as part of its transparency obligations, and operates without parent company, subsidiary, or private ownership structures—being a political subdivision of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania accountable to township residents through elected representation.
