The North Cornwall Township Board of Supervisors unanimously agreed Tuesday to pay off the remaining balance of $252,455.88 on a fire engine, using general reserve funds that will be gradually repaid from the fire services fund.
The engine was purchased in 2021 with annual payments of $46,000 planned to continue until 2031, explained township manager Justin Thompson.
By paying off the loan immediately, Thompson said, the township will save more than $28,000 on the engine.
Chairman Mike Wahmann floated the fire services fund also reimbursing the township for the interest that would have been earned in the meantime, but ultimately decided against it.
