Hampton, authority earn Banner Communities honor

The Allegheny League of Municipalities, in conjunction with Allegheny County and program sponsor HRG Engineering, announces its 2023 Banner Communities.

Among those earning the distinction are Hampton Township and the Hampton Shaler Water Authority.

The Banner Community Program recognizes municipalities that distinguish themselves as model communities through a commitment to effective, efficient and accountable government principles through implementation of recognized best practices in providing services to their constituents.

In 2022, the program was expanded to include municipal authorities, and a record 80 total Banner Communities were designated.

HRG, the key program sponsor, is an employee-owned, full-service civil engineering and related services firm that provides cost-effective design solutions to public and private sector clients. As sponsor, HRG is demonstrating its corporate values of unwavering dedication to quality, accuracy, and budget.

The Allegheny League of Municipalities is a nonprofit organization that emerged in the early 1960s as a result of the need to establish an entity to coordinate the needs of the area’s local elected officials. In 1974, the league was officially established.

Its mission is to foster local government in Allegheny County and Southwestern Pennsylvania by educating elected officials, delivering essential resources and advocating for sound policy and legislation.
