Manager's Message
JOHN M. BARRETT
T
he appeal of local government to me is its proximity to people.
Public services delivered at the local level have a greater influence on the personal lives of residents than at the state or federal level. As a resident of South Fayette Township, you have convenient access to your local government, and I encourage you to participate in public discussion on matters facing our community. In this issue of South Fayette Connect, we draw attention to the swearing-in of four newly elected township commissioners and also highlight the completion of the South Fayette Township Municipal Center, including the police station, administrative offices and public meeting chambers. The combination of a new facility and fresh ideas from elected officials creates a wonderful opportunity to engage with local government and see it in action. The Board of Commissioners holds business meetings the second Wednesday of every month, and the public is always welcome to attend and participate. In addition, we host monthly meetings of the Parks and Recreation Board, Planning Commission and Zoning Hearing Board. You have an open invitation to attend our public meetings and have a look around our new facility. I hope to see you soon. ◀ Public meeting chambers; Photo by Roy Engelbrecht
