Wrightstown eying 2027 budget with no property tax hike – Bucks Round-Up – November 10, 2026

Wrightstown eying 2027 budget with no property tax hike. Wrightstown Township supervisors are considering a 2027 budget that would keep the municipal property tax rate unchanged at 13.5 mills. The proposed spending plan includes $2.75 million for township operations, $443,000 for road repaving in the Wrenwood development, and $1.2 million for a conservation easement to protect private property from future development. The budget also sets aside $355,000 for a state-mandated Anchor Run stream restoration project intended to reduce sediment erosion into the Neshaminy and Delaware rivers. Grants would cover most of the project’s cost. Police coverage, contracted through Newtown Township, will cost Wrightstown $1.08 million next year, a five-percent increase. Supervisors are expected to discuss the proposal on Monday and could vote to advertise it for adoption. A final vote could take place on December 7 following a public hearing. At the proposed rate, a property assessed at $75,000 would owe approximately $1,012.50 in annual township property taxes. County and school taxes are separate.

Pennsylvania's latest energy chapter: Air to fuel

(The Center Square) – Pennsylvania’s longstanding role as a leader in energy production is entering a new chapter with the arrival of a company that is turning air into fuel. AIRCO, formerly Air Company, recently relocated from Brooklyn, N.Y. to Bucks County, Pa., to start a new hub for research, development, engineering, and manufacturing of advanced fuel technologies. Its proprietary AIRMADE technologies convert carbon dioxide into synthetic fuels – including diesel and jet fuel – which the company says could have implications for national security and global fuel supply. Although the facility will produce some fuel, its primary focus is manufacturing its MAD (Mobile, Adaptable, and Dynamic) Fuel Systems, which are designed to produce fuel near the point of use, potentially reducing dependence on vulnerable fuel supply lines. “For over a century, fuel has been produced in centralized refineries and shipped around the world. We’re changing that,” said Gregory Constantine, co-founder and CEO of AIRCO , at a ribbon-cutting event on Oct. 28. “This facility enables us to manufacture autonomous systems that produce fuel anywhere, on demand. It’s a fundamental shift from fuel as a commodity to fuel as infrastructure.” Constantine said they plan to mass manufacture modular e-fuel production
