Saucon Valley
Partnership, a Council of Governments
Elects 2007 Officers

The Borough of Hellertown,
Township of Lower Saucon and the Saucon Valley School
District are charter members of the Saucon Valley Partnership.
Established in 2004, this Council of Governments is
comprised of elected and appointed officials designated by
the respective members.
The Saucon Valley Partnership,
evolved from an Ad-Hoc Committee of Hellertown Borough and
Lower Saucon Township officials, which had been meeting over
the years to discuss joint issues. This Council of
Governments is a forum for officials to discuss common
interests with the goal of improving the quality of life for
residents of the Saucon Valley area in the face of
increasing pressures due to economic and population growth.
The Partnership will provide an opportunity for the members
to foster communication, regional cooperation and joint
action on regional issues and problems. By working together
as a group, the partners can build stronger relationships
and pursue strategies that improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of municipal services to save tax dollars.
