In 2020, Silverdale Borough began its revitalization efforts to Vision and plan the community’s future. The Borough hired Barth Consulting Group and the Bucks County Planning Commission to assist us in engaging with the community and helping us create a sustainable financial future. During the past three years the Borough distributed surveys and hosted town hall meetings to hear from the entire community about what types of growth, development and park improvements they wanted.
The consensus from the community was to create sustainable revenue in the future to support police, roads, parks and services by encouraging small development, having gradual, incremental tax increases and establish a “passive park” on the Silver Street Open Space lot.
In 1960, Silverdale Borough acquired the 3-acre parcel of land on Silver Street adjoining your property through an Open Space grant from Bucks County. According to Bucks County parks are considered open space. Properties adjoining parks increase in value by 10% to 20%.
