Upper St. Clair Again Achieves Banner Community Designation

The township is one of a select few to achieve the honor since the program was initiated.

UPPER ST. CLAIR, PA - It’s a distinction Upper St. Clair has gotten used to: the township again has achieved the Banner Community designation by Allegheny County.

Since 2012, the banner program recognizes local municipalities that are committed to professional development, prudent fiscal management, transparency, accountability and proactive communications, according to the award announcement from Allegheny County Executive Rich Fitzgerald's office.

Upper St. Clair was one of 55 municipalities receiving the designation this year. It’s one of just 15 municipalities that have attained the honor since the program’s inception six years ago.
