Washington Township recognized with Governor’s Award

Washington Township was honored Monday with the 2023 Governor’s Award for Local Government Excellence, for its work with the Southwestern Pennsylvania Water Authority to create a public waterline infrastructure.
Washington Township supervisors used Act 13 Impact Tax funds, along with money available through Greene County, to provide residents with access to the public water system.
Washington Township was one of 15 communities to receive recognition from the Department of Community and Economic Development, as part of the 27th Annual Governor’s Awards, which celebrate municipalities and local officials for dedication to strengthening their communities and serving their residents.
“The important work done by local officials across our Commonwealth has the power to impact Pennsylvania families every day,” Gov. Josh Shapiro said in a press release. “Each of this year’s recipients has shown exceptional dedication to improving public services through innovative initiatives and a continued focus on getting things done for their communities. The individuals, municipalities, organizations, and counties being recognized today represent the best of us, and public service is not just what they do – it’s who they are.”
