Stafford Township residents who have struggled to pay their property taxes for the second quarter received a little leeway from the township council on May 8, when it approved the extension of the grace period through the end of the month.

“We’ve had some feedback from residents on this, and we felt it was necessary to act in their best interests,” said Stafford Mayor Greg Myhre several hours after the council approved the extension during a special meeting held at noon on Friday.
