The Borough of Jefferson Hills Administration, Engineering, and Public Works Departments have been hard at work over the past months addressing a number of projects and challenges throughout the community. Work on these public investments will continue during the late summer and into the fall. The completion of these projects is through the utilization of tax revenues collected from Borough residents and businesses.
