Please join us at this meeting before the plan enters into the final stage before adoption. The Township Supervisors are very proud to announce that the Millcreek Government Channel won a Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors (PSATS) Communication Contest award. The program highlighted Presque Isle State Park’s Spring/Summer events. Congratulations to the Public Services Department for this prestigious honor! Do you know you can take fallen branches and other yard debris out to the Millfair Compost Center? The Center is now open for the 2018 season and is located at 2301 Millfair Road. Make sure you also check out the article on the newly adopted Burning Ordinance. This will address questions you may have regarding recreational fires in addition to what materials can and cannot be burned. The Recycling Coordinator would like to remind you to take advantage of the Millfair Tire Collection and Paper Shred Day held at the Millfair Compost Center on May 19th and May 20th. She also answers frequently asked questions from residents on recycling in her “Ask The Coordinator” feature article. There is good news coming from the Parks & Recreation Department!

Our Public Services Department is again providing information on driver safety classes, property tax/rent rebates along with Lifeworks programs and their Healthy Steps Workshop. The Fire Commission has a great article on how YOU can help your local fire departments! It is our hope you have a fun filled and safe summer.

John Groh, John Morgan, Jim Bock Millcreek Township Wins Statewide Award for Communication Efforts Millcreek Township’s efforts to keep its residents updated and informed about the community have earned the municipality an award in the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors’ (PSATS) 50th Annual Citizen Communication Contest. The annual contest recognizes townships that have successfully communicated programs and activities to its citizens. Millcreek Township received third place in the Cable TV Programs category for “Presque Isle State Park.” All contest 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. In all, 42 townships submitted 99 entries for this year’s competition, and 20 individual townships won awards. The new location for the Millcreek Government Channel (MGC) is Channel 1024 for Charter Spectrum customers. Even if you are not a cable subscriber, you can still enjoy the programs on YouTube.
