Annual Township Budget
Montgomery Township staff has prepared this budget report to provide a more in-depth picture of our operations and proposed capital projects and purchases.
At its core, the budget is the foundation for what we do, and the services we provide daily. It is built on assumptions about our operating expenses and the various revenue sources that fund them. These assumptions are based not only on recent history, but on calculated projections about the upcoming year. It is prepared with the involvement of all departments and key staff and reveals details regarding the areas of public service prioritized by the Board of Supervisors including:
- Public safety with an accredited Police Department which now has the distinction of being a Premier Agency, one of 10 in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
- A paid and volunteer fire department providing 24/7 coverage to our township and assisting neighboring municipalities when needed.
- A Public Works department responsible for the maintenance of Township parks, our facilities, roads (including snow removal), traffic signals, and stormwater management facilities.
- Parks and Recreation which many residents and prospective residents view as important to their quality of life. We continue to plan for renovations to existing ones including Fellowship and Whistlestop Parks and have been awarded grants from the Commonwealth of PA to aid our efforts.
Our job as Township employees is to ensure the day-to-day operations are run efficiently, ethically, and transparently, solidifying my belief that local government is the most responsive and responsible form of government, as it directly impacts the daily lives of Township residents and businesses.
