The Abington Board of Health completed its reorganization following a member's August resignation, electing Chris Schultz as chair, reelecting Carol Dolan as vice chair and Lisa as recording secretary, all to serve until April town elections. The board unanimously approved one additional trash barrel for a resident household reporting overcrowding.
