VALLEY VIEW – Hegins Township Supervisors gathered last Thursday evening in the secretary’s office for a quick meeting to approve advertising the estimated budget for 2017.
According to the supervisors, the estimated budget includes no tax increases at this time. The budget is available to be viewed by the public at the township office.
The supervisors also approved advertising to replace a culvert box on East Mountain Road. The project was advertised earlier in the year but the bids were denied by the board.
In other business, a discussion was held concerning an individual on the township’s list to help with snow plowing.
Supervisor Chairman Gary Harner questioned whether the person was qualified and whether there was any health concern.
