Township operations have shifted offices from the Municipal Complex along Lincoln Highway to the office building at 430-450 Lincoln Highway while renovations are underway. The building is often known for housing the Social Security Administration.
The township’s police department is also operating from the temporary location.
“We will continue to operate in this temporary relocation until the renovation of our current municipal building is complete, approximately 14-18 months from now. We look forward to providing the same high level of service to our residents and businesses at this temporary location,” the township said in a statement.

The relocations are due to the $30 million-plus project to completely overhaul and renovate the Falls Township Municipal Complex.
As building renovations are underway, the property at the end of Lincoln Circle that sits near the township complex will be used provide a secure location for storing township vehicles and equipment, officials have said.

The overhaul of its existing 60,000-square-foot complex comes after years of talk. The project will revamp the finance, parks and recreation, the police department, clerks, the tax collector, and public works spaces. There will also be a change from a public meeting room to a community room, which could be used by residents and neighborhood organizations. The municipal building will be upgraded to include extra support and amenity spaces, shared, flexible meeting rooms, incubator space for start-up firms, and more.
The first floor of the renovated Falls Township Municipal Complex will house all municipal functions for the benefit of those who are elderly or have physical disabilities.
