New Leaders Taking Over In Eastern Montco Reorganizations

EASTERN MONTGOMERY COUNTY, PA — Communities in eastern Montgomery County will reorganize their governments right after the new year, welcoming new members and appointing new leaders for 2026.

Hatboro will see a new council president to replace George Bollendorf, who served in the post for eight years.
