Wawa Property For Sale: Hatboro Council Notebook

HATBORO, PA — The Wawa convenience store property on York Road is for sale, borough officials said.

At its recent Hatboro Council/Committee meeting, officials clarified that the convenience store at the corner of Horsham and York roads isn't for sale, just the land.

The property was sold at a federal marshal sale earlier this year. The new owner is working with staff on the closeout.

Officials said Hatboro could net $75,000 in transfer taxes if the property is sold.

Meanwhile, with school starting next week, the Hatboro Borough Police Department is reminding residents to be mindful of more kids walking to school or waiting for buses. Police Chief Mark Ruegg also reminded everyone about school bus cameras and violations drivers will receive if they illegally pass a stopped bus.
