Inside This Issue

New Vehicle Maintenance Garage The Board of Commissioners recently began to implement long-deferred physical plant improvements, including the replacement of the outdated vehicle maintenance garage. By utilizing a preengineered metal structure, the building was constructed in a cost-effective way. The garage also features many energy-efficient improvements. It uses waste oil burners that heat the facility with used motor oils collected from Township vehicles, and has low cost LED lighting. The new shop has six regular bays as well as flexible workspace for additional vehicles, parts storage, a welding station for body repairs and a crew room to accommodate overnight crews during emergencies.

Because of its age, shape and location, the old shop did not have enough space to accommodate all of the needed indoor work space, which meant that larger vehicles did Old Fac ility not fit in the tight bays when the overhead doors were closed, exposing employees to inclement weather.
