The Lead
The Mount Pleasant Township Board of Supervisors convenes at 3:00 PM today for its regular monthly meeting at the municipal building on Poker Road in Mammoth. The three-member board oversees local public works, zoning, and municipal operations across rural acreage and historic patch villages, including United, Calumet, and Norvelt.
Today’s session addresses fall public works scheduling, road maintenance reviews, and municipal equipment upkeep ahead of winter operations. With grant funds recently directed toward updating township utility vehicles and recurring drainage reviews underway throughout the township, supervisors will evaluate end-of-year capital priorities. Residents wishing to address township business, road repair concerns, or drainage issues can speak during the open public comment period at the beginning of the 3:00 PM session.
