Banner Community Program
The Allegheny League of Municipalities, in conjunction with Allegheny County and program sponsor HRG Engineering, is pleased to announce that we are now accepting applications for the 2024 Banner Community Program. Honored municipalities and authorities distinguish themselves as model communities through their commitment to sustainable practices including professional development, intergovernmental cooperation, sound fiscal management and proactive communications to engage community stakeholders. Last year’s program was a huge success and resulted in a record 84 communities earning the Banner Community designation.
A special recognition luncheon at the Spring Educational Conference was joined by County Executive Rich Fitzgerald to recognize program participants. In addition, through a partnership with HRG Engineering and Allegheny County, Banner Community designees were eligible for registration scholarships to the Spring Educational Conference held in April 2023.
