Letter to Richmond Township Residents – December 2025
Dear Richmond Township Residents,
It is with profound sadness that the Board of Supervisors shares the news of the passing of our longtime board member, Glenn Sharpe, on Wednesday, December 17, 2025.
Glenn served as a supervisor for nearly 12 years, stepping into the role at a pivotal moment for our community. During his tenure, he provided steady leadership through challenging times, guiding the township with unwavering integrity and foresight.
Under Glenn’s guidance, we hired essential staff to navigate difficult transitions, updated critical road maintenance equipment for our crews that care for 42 miles of township roads, and consistently achieved budget surpluses through careful stewardship of our financial resources. His commitment to good governance, fiscal responsibility, and thoughtful prioritization of expenses set a powerful example for all elected officials.
We will deeply miss Glenn’s humor, wisdom, and calming presence at our meetings and in our community. Yet we are forever grateful for his dedicated service and the countless ways he made life better for all of us. Those who knew Glenn will always remember him fondly as a wonderful neighbor and dear friend.
The Board of Supervisors, along with our staff and committee members, extend our heartfelt condolences to Glenn’s mother Kathleen, his sister Nancy and brother-in-law Mike, and his brother Tom during this difficult time.
As we close 2025, we hold Glenn’s memory close and remain committed to the values he championed. We will share information about any memorial arrangements as it becomes available.
In lieu of flowers, the family suggests donations be made in Glenn’s memory to the AseraCare Hospice at 12664 Route 19 South Unit 1, Waterford, PA 16441 or the Meadville Sportsman’s Club, 20600 Ryan Road, Meadville, PA 16335.
With gratitude and sympathy,
The Richmond Township Board of Supervisors

NO 2026 TAX INCREASE FOR RICHMOND TOWNSHIP
The Richmond Township Board of Supervisors is pleased to announce that due to avoidance of unnecessary spending and proper handling of revenues received, there will once again be no need for a tax increase for the residents of Richmond Township for the year of 2026.
Preserving History of Richmond Township
In a move that showcases the Richmond Township road crew's commitment to preserving history while driving progress, the old snow plow and antique road grader have been relocated from the Recreation Complex to the front of the Township building. This strategic move has created space for additional parking at the Recreation Complex, enhancing the overall experience for our guests.
The crew's efforts were bolstered by the generous support of Ace Excavating, who lent their time and equipment to the cause. As we push forward with plans to upgrade our Recreation Complex, residents, guests, and neighbors can look forward to a host of exciting improvements.
