Description
Summary:Phyllis J. Anderson, Assistant Borough Manager of Oakmont PA, emphasizes the importance of understanding community needs and connecting with neighboring towns. She is a member of a regional consortium called CONNECT, which identifies key projects that member municipalities can fund. Anderson strives for consistent communication between municipalities and residents. She aims to elevate Oakmont's sustainability status from Silver to Platinum, despite facing challenges with previously approved initiatives. Anderson successfully convinces councilmembers to approve the installation of three dual port charging stations and employs goats to clear overgrown vegetation instead of using harmful herbicides. These innovative changes demonstrate the community's commitment to being better stewards of the Earth.
