Middletown Township is moving forward with efforts to help businesses get back on their feet after the COVID-19 shutdown.

Leading up to the county moving from the “red” phase to the less-restrictive “yellow” phase last week, the township and the 13-person Middletown Township Economic Reopening Task Force prepared information for local businesses, which employ many residents, drive the area’s economy, and keep goods moving.

The township has produced signage packages that businesses can pick up at no cost to businesses. The package includes “Open For Business” displays, social distancing floor decals, and seven separate designs that businesses can reproduce. To know about the complete details you can look here and select the desired package for your own signage for your company.

The signage packages can be picked up starting this week at

  • Middletown Township Municipal Center – 3 Municipal Way, Langhorne
    • (Monday – Friday, 10 AM – 2 PM)
  • Inspire Federal Credit Union – 1555 East Lincoln Highway, Langhorne
    • (Monday – Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM; Saturday, 9 AM – 1 PM)
  • Robin Kemmerer Associates Inc. – 1 Deep Dale Drive East, Levittown
    • (Monday – Friday, 9 AM – 5 PM; weekend times available, please call ahead: 215-949-0810)

“When the task force was thinking of how we can best provide direct relief to local businesses, this idea made complete sense,” said Board of Supervisors Chairperson Mike Ksiazek. “A small business that has been closed for three months can’t as easily afford signage, which has become a critical need for any business.”

Stephanie Teoli Kuhls, Middletown’s township manager, said during a task force meeting last week that the Board of Supervisors have agreed to waive permit fees to tenting relating to outdoor dining in the community.

“We’re trying to take away all the red tape,” she said.

The task force discussed the finalization on the signage packages designed and purchased for distribution by the township.

Rachel Bullene, owner of Mam’Zelle Hair Salon and task force member, said during the meeting that she appreciated the municipality providing the signs as her business is closed and not serving customers, impacting revenues.

The township has also created a page of digital resources on their website.
