Aston Township plans a new municipal building of about 21,930 square feet on a 21.3-acre site in Delaware County. County records list G. D. Houtman and Son on the filing along with the township.
The township's old police and administration building at Pennell Road was vacated after mold was found. A local newsletter reported in mid-2025 that the township was selling that 3.5-acre lot for townhomes. The same article said residents had attended a meeting about building a new administration building and police department. It did not give the new building's address, cost or completion date.
No township agendas, minutes, news stories or contractor pages were found that clearly describe this specific filing. The details above come from the county record plus that one related article.
What it could mean nearby
- The old Pennell Road lot is being sold for townhomes, so moving township offices could change how that site is used.
- The 21.3-acre site is large compared with the building, but the records give no details on open space or access.
- Traffic, utility and school effects are not described in the sources found.
Where it stands
The county record shows a filing in January 2024, and a local report in 2025 described the new building as being planned and built. The current approval or construction status could not be confirmed. Typically the next steps are final permits, construction and then a move-in and opening.
- Jul 2025 A local newsletter reported on the sale of the old police and administration building lot and mentioned meetings about the new building.
