IN Ross Township Summer 2014 | Page 48

A MESSAGE FROM THE MANAGER O n behalf of the Board of Commissioners of Ross Township and all municipal employees, I am pleased to present the Summer Edition of the Ross Township In Community Magazine. We have been very busy with new projects and planning for the future, including: • The updating of the Township’s Comprehensive Plan is underway. The Comprehensive Plan will set forth the desired future land use and development, plus set strategies for housing, roads, parks, and the other valuable resources of our Township. • The Board is hiring the Township’s first Planning and Zoning Administrator who will be responsible for overseeing all development and re-development within the Township. Douglas Sample Township Manager • The Commissioners authorized $1 million in the 2014 budget for road repaving and the Township Engineer and the Public Works Department are working hard to get the paving projects in place and started for the summer season. • The Township is unveiling its new website, which has been completely redesigned and upgraded so that residents can have as much information as possible on a timely basis. Please visit our new website at http://www.ross.pa.us/. Exciting things are happening in Ross and I am happy to be a part of them. If you have any problems or issues that we can assist with – please feel free to give me a call at the Township Office.
