Inside This Issue
Preserving our History th
On March 2, 2015, Haverford Township became Pennsylvania's 45 Certified Local Government (CLG), and the second in Delaware County. Being a CLG demonstrates the Township's commitment to saving what is important from the past for future generations. The CLG program, which is jointly administered by the National Park Service (NPS) and the State Historic Preservation Offices (SHPOs), provides the Township with (1) access to funding from the Federal Historic Preservation Fund, (2) technical assistance from the SHPOs, (3) access to sustainability programs, and (4) technical assistance and matching grants through the Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission's Bureau for Historic Preservation. Attaining CLG status is the result of the efforts of the Haverford Township Historical Commission (HTHC) and the Board of Commissioners. Additional information about Certified Local Governments is available at http://www.nps.gov/clg/. If you would like to contact the Historical Commission, please call the Township Zoning Officer at 610-446-1000, or visit the Township's website at: www.haverfordtownship.org.
