Community Involvement

Volunteering On Behalf Of Blair Township

Blair Township Government recruits residents for appointment by the Board of Supervisors to Township-affiliated commissions and authorities. Principal among these are the Blair Township Citizens Advisory Committee, the Blair Township Planning Commissions, and the Blair Township Water and Sewer Authority. This recruitment effort is ongoing because the need for volunteers remains. Below are succinct descriptions of appointees’ roles and the need for immediate appointments due to vacancies.

Blair Township Citizens Advisory Committee

This informal group meets periodically to discuss issues relating to Blair Township as a community where all residents’ concerns are welcomed. Its deliberations are conveyed to the Board of Supervisors as recommendations for further study and action.

Blair Township Planning Commissions (BTPC)

The BTPC has scheduled meetings on the first Monday of each month at 6:00PM, but only if pertinent business items need to be addressed. This group discussses issues primarily with regards to the Township‘s subdivision and land development ordinances. Reviews conducted by the Township’s consulting engineer are presented and are instrumental with the BTPC members rendering decisions, which are then presented as recommendations to the Board of Supervisors. Worth noting is the Supervisors‘ desire for the BTPC to spearhead an update to the Township Comprehensive Plan as a blueprint for Blair Township’s future development.

Blair Township Water & Sewer Authority

Under PA law, Blair Township created the Authority in 1968 with a mission of building and maintaining water and sewerage infrastructure. The Authority meets monthly (occasionally more often) on the first Wednesday at 7:00 PM. Board members are paid a monthly stipend of $100. The Authority is largely independent of the Township, but under Pa law board members’ appointments (five year terms) and any stipend paid thereto are the perogative of the Supervisors.

Township supervisors are urging you to consider participating in an active way by volunteering to serve as described above. Call Betty at the Township office for further information at (814) 696-4363, x.102.
