• Council approved a resolution requesting that Westmoreland County share a portion of its federal COVID relief money with the county's municipalities.
• Council discussed a technology policy for borough employees as well as ordinances related to parking and solar installations. These are all currently in progress with nothing approved yet.

West Leechburg Borough Council will hold its reorganization meeting at 7 pm on 1/3/22 at the borough building. This will be followed by council's regular monthly meeting. The agendas for both meeting can be found below and, as always, can be found at the Documents section of this website.

The borough is happy to reveal our newly colorized and updated logo. This will replace the previous black and white version of a similar logo. 

Soon this logo will be installed on our new street sweeper and it will be added to new public works vehicles going forward. This will also be used to enhance our digital presence.

Thanks to Digital Designs Graphics and Signs in Vandergrift for working on this and for future vehicle installations!
