Abington Township is an exciting place to
live! We offer many opportunities for community
involvement in events and programs, and we boast
an administration and citizenry full of
innovative ideas that are pursued each year.
Abington's 2013-2014 financial status remains
stable under the close supervision of the staff,
administration, and Board of
Commissioners. This year's budget reflects
a solid commitment to the Commissioners' goals
to provide a safe community with job creation,
strategic economic development, stewardship of
our environment, and efficient services.
The Board of Commissioners meets on the
second Thursday of every month and welcomes your
interest and input. Citizens can also
follow these meetings on Comcast Channel 43, and
Verizon 24. We discuss and adopt policies
for Abington Township on issues regarding land
development applications, road improvements,
refuse, public safety, and capital improvement
projects.
Looking forward to 2013-2014, Abington
Township will continue to be an involved,
high-spirited community that is fortunate to
have so many proud citizens who possess a vested
interest in the Township's future. They
take their responsibility seriously by
volunteering on boards and commissions as well
as for service to their police and fire
departments.
In 2012, we said good-bye to three
Commissioners who left to pursue new
paths. Our Board of Commissioner's
President Carol T. DiJoseph retired to a new
location. We are extremely appreciative of
Carol's years of loyal service and impressive
leadership. Commissioners Les Benzak and
Madeleine Dean stepped down, and we thank them
for their service and dedication to the
Township.
Abington Township is known for its leadership
and continues to be recognized for sound
governmental planning and overall management
practices...and 2013-2014 will not disappoint!
