Weisenberg Community Center Advisory Committee updates were discussed at the township\u2019s Jan. 12 board of supervisors meeting.<\/p>\n
Township Manager Brian Carl said that an advisory meeting before the board meeting had gone well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe went through some options for the event website,\u201d he said. \u201cWhen this thing gets kicked off, people will be able to reserve fields, get memberships and things like that.\u201d<\/p>\n
Carl said committee members had looked at hex signs design, so they can get those ordered for the community center. He asked the board for its approval for up to $3,400 to pay for the hex signs so he can get them ordered.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will do four of them four-foot in diameter. Three facing north along Route 863 on the long side and then one on the gable facing the fields and pond in the park. We\u2019re mixing it up a little bit,\u201d Carl said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe tried to stick with the black and gold for the school district colors and red, white and blue for the colors of our country. They are native Lehigh and Berks stars.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the main ones are Lehigh stars. Two of them are Berks stars because the township is on the border.<\/p>\n
The board unanimously approved a motion to purchase the hex signs for the community center.<\/p>\n
He said going down the agenda the building itself is chugging along pretty well.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe did get delayed a little bit because of the cold temperatures we had. That was holding up our concrete pours. The floors were poured between the holidays and we\u2019re back at it now,\u201d Carl said. \u201cThe doors have been put on; the roofs have been put on; the garage door has been put on. Windows have been installed, and the tempered trusts for the front porch arrived. We will finish the siding on the outside, get the front porch built and then go inside and start framing the interior walls.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the committee is not ready to purchase the turf this month and is still looking at options.<\/p>\n
Carl said in regard to the website, he has been talking to the township\u2019s web designer NA Studios.<\/p>\n
\u201cLong term, it seems like we\u2019re going to outgrow having a combination website with the township stuff and community center stuff. So what he would like to do is build a new website just for the Community Center,\u201d Carl said. \u201cWe\u2019ll have it linked to our regular township website and then that kind of morphs into where we\u2019re looking at going with a third-party vendor that would handle scheduling and memberships payments, reservations of the courts and all of that stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n
He said the committee looked at a couple samples including one from Bethlehem Township which does something similar.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey have a regular website and then if you want to reserve a pickleball court or do a membership, it directs you to a third-party vendor where you would buy a membership or reserve something, like the birthday party room,\u201d Carl said. \u201cThe cost is going to be probably in that $2,000 to $3,000 range to get the website up and running. We\u2019ll get the photos on there and at least have a platform to do that because right now the community center has one page on our township website.\u201d<\/p>\n
After further discussion, the board unanimously approved a motion to set up the website for somewhere between $2,000 and $3,000.<\/p>\n
In other business, the board approved the Forgotten Felines and Fidos 2026 contract.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe price is the same price as last year,\u201d Carl said. \u201cSeemed to work out pretty good last year. It\u2019s just for the low cost spay and neuter.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Published February 03. 2026 10:46AM Weisenberg Community Center Advisory Committee updates were discussed at the township\u2019s Jan. 12…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1834,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120],"class_list":["post-103982","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-allentown","tag-allentown","tag-allentown-headlines","tag-allentown-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103982","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103982"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103982\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103982"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103982"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103982"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
