Lower Saucon Township to Host 'Citizens Academy'

Registration is now open for the Lower Saucon Township Citizens Academy, which is being held to educate and involve residents in the functions of township government.

Lower Saucon Township has announced that it will host having a six-week Citizens Academy, for which township residents are being encouraged to register.

The academy, which was proposed last year by township councilman David Willard, is being conducted to educate and involve residents in the functions of township government.

"The goal of the Citizens Academy is to foster a better relationship between township government and its constituents, while providing the foundation for greater citizen participation on the township’s boards, commissions and authorities," according to an online brochure posted on the township's website (also see attached file).
