A letter from our new Borough Manager , Tricia Levander est Jefferson Hills BOROUGH OF JEFFERSON HILLS NEWS
Dear Residents :
Since 2013 , the Borough of Jefferson Hills has been recognized by two personal finance and consumer survey websites as a “ Best Place to Live in PA .” As the new Borough Manager , it is no surprise to me that the Borough has received these honors , as there are so many reasons to be proud of this beautiful community ! I became Borough Manager of the Borough of Jefferson Hills in July , and after just a few months of working with Borough Council , Mayor Cmar , Borough department heads , our community partners and our volunteers , it is obvious that the Borough of Jefferson Hills richly deserves the designation of a great place to live , work and raise our families .
I grew up in Rostraver Township ; a graduate of the University of Pittsburgh and have served in local government for the last six years . Through my years of service , I have become proficient in municipal budgeting , zoning and planning , permitting , public works , grant writing and community development . I am a manager who will be proactive at cutting costs , and will dedicate my time to improving processes for residents through new technology and effective , interactive collaboration among our departments and employees .
One of the ways that we are improving communication with our residents is through our new Borough website www . jeffersonhillsboro . org that we launched in May to give our residents the most up-to-date news and information on a number of topics : Council and committee meeting dates and minutes , Borough ordinances , special events ,
54 West Jefferson Hills parks and recreation ; forms and permits , and answers to all of the questions you may have about living in the Borough . We encourage everyone to visit the website and signup on the HOME page to receive an occasional e-newsletter .
We are currently working on several projects that will give a facelift to our Borough parks . Just to name a few , we received a grant through the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for park renovations based on our Comprehensive Recreation , Park & Open Space Plan to replace the fencing and bleachers at Beedle Park ; and we are applying for a Community Development Block Grant to replace all of the doors at the Gill Hall Park community center .
Also , we will continue to maintain our Borough infrastructure through our 3-step comprehensive approach of paving , tar and chipping and rejuvenation . In addition , we are actively overseeing all of the phases of construction for the new Thomas Jefferson High School where our kids with learn , grow and achieve their greatest dreams .
I will continue to seek opportunities to improve our parks , infrastructure and the overall livability of our community . Please visit me anytime or call our offices if I can help you in any way . I look forward to meeting you !
Sincerely ,
Tricia Levander
