Board of Supervisors

About Us

Local governments exist for the purpose of providing services and public facilities for the people who live within their jurisdiction. What they must do and what they may do is specified in the codes and laws enacted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. East Hanover Township is a Second-Class Township governed by the Second-Class Township Code which was enacted and amended in 1995. Since January 2, 2001, the Board of Supervisors has consisted of five people. The expansion of the Board from three to five members was approved in the 1999 municipal election.

All Supervisors now have a six-year term in the office. The Supervisors have created the positions of Township Manager, Assistant Township Manager/Zoning Officer, Secretary-Treasurer, Administrative Assistant, Park & Recreation Director, Public Works Director and Road Crew, Building and Park Maintenance, Sewage Enforcement Officer, Wastewater Treatment Plant Operator, Municipal Engineer and Solicitor. They have also appointed a Zoning Hearing Board, Planning Commission, Park and Recreation Board, Environmental Advisory Council and Emergency Management Coordinator. The Environmental Advisory Council is currently on an inactive status due to a lack of volunteers to be appointed as members.

Board of Supervisor meetings are held on the first and third Tuesday evenings of each month (except holidays and elections) in the Municipal Building beginning at 7 p.m. The public is encouraged to attend. The Board of Supervisors can be reached by email or phone at 717-469-0833.
