Peters Township Wins Statewide Award for Citizen Communications

has received an award for its entry in the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors' 44th annual Township Citizen Communication Contest.

The annual contest recognizes townships that have successfully communicated programs and activities to citizens.

Peters Township was chosen to receive second place in the Annual Reports category.

All entries were judged on the usefulness of information presented and how well the information was communicated to township residents. Publications were also judged on their overall attractiveness and readability.

Judges for the contest included members of the association’s Publications-Public Relations Committee, representatives from the Governor’s Center for Local Government Services and staff members of the Pennsylvania Township News, the association’s award-winning monthly magazine.

Editor's Note: Township Manager Mike Silvestri couldn't be reached for comment.

The Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors represents Pennsylvania’s 1,455 townships of the second class. Townships of the second class represent more residents—5.5 million Pennsylvanians—than any other type of political subdivision in the commonwealth.
