Yesterday, Lt. Governor Austin Davis, who chairs the Governor’s Local Government Advisory Committee, and Rick Siger, Secretary of Community and Economic Development, recognized municipalities and local government officials for their dedication and commitment to strengthen their communities and better serve their residents.
“Local government has the most direct impact on our daily lives, and the Shapiro Administration is thrilled to celebrate the municipalities, counties, organizations, and individuals who are dedicated to providing the highest level of service to their communities,” Siger said. “The important projects and passionate individuals recognized today truly help to make Pennsylvania the best place to live, work, and thrive.”
