Lower Providence has received second place honors for its Annual Report, a publication that provides residents with a recap of the year’s major projects and accomplishments.

The publication was honored in a statewide citizen communication contest sponsored by the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors. The contest recognizes townships that have successfully communicated programs and activities to its residents.

Judges noted that Lower Providence’s Annual Report communicated a great deal of information to the residents and they made special note of the report’s layout and photo treatment. All entries were judged on the usefulness of information presented and how well the information was communicated to residents. Publications also were judged on their overall attractiveness and readability.

Judges for the contest included members of the association’s Publications-Public Relations Committee, representatives from the Governor’s Center of Local Government Services, and staff members of the Pennsylvania Township News, PSATS’s monthly magazine.

PSATS represents Pennsylvania’s 1,455 townships of the second class and their 5.4 million residents.
