Right-to-Know
Pursuant to the Pennsylvania Right-To-Know Law, US citizens have the right to access and copy certain documents classified as public records.
Please note that any day on which the municipal office is closed shall not count towards the statutory deadline for responding to a request for records. The Open Records Officer will process any requests in the order received, and only on days when the municipal office is open for business.
