Town once again honored with banner designation

  • 2015-04-29
The Allegheny League of Municipalities (ALOM) has announced that it is again naming Cranberry Township a banner community.

For the third year in a row, the nonprofit ALOM, an association of municipalities throughout Western Pennsylvania, honored the township as a banner community. In total, 42 municipalities were given this designation this year.

ALOM only considers those municipalities taking part in training and educational programs through the nonprofit as eligible for the designation. Moreover, a municipality must be in good standing with the group and an active member of ALOM. Finally, to receive the banner designation, a community must promote and implement long-term sustainable government practices.

Dick Hadley, a Cranberry Township supervisor who is also the executive director for ALOM, pointed out in an article in the Cranberry Eagle that it a special honor it was to be recognized for the third year in succession.

Designed to identify those communities in the area that have an inclusive and collaborative manner of governance, banner communities hold themselves accountable for increasing the quality of life for anyone who lives in or visits their municipality.

Repeatedly being named a banner community reflects favorable on a municipality and, when included in promotional materials provided to a Print company, can bring an influx of new businesses and residents. Indeed, many banner communities get the message across through banner printing.
