Update of Edgewood

We have received the unfortunate news
from the Woodland Hills Baseball
Association that most of the teams have
dropped out of the league and thus, the
Woodland Hills league will not be active
for the foreseeable future.
Due to this recent change of events
we have partnered with the 14 Ward
Baseball League for the 2012 Season.

Citizen Satisfaction Survey
As part of an effort to effectively utilize
Borough funds, the General Government Committee
of Borough Council identified a need to have
more accurate information about citizen
satisfaction with some of the services provided
by the Borough.
Toward that end, a citizen satisfaction
survey was conducted in 2011. You can
review the results by downloading the
Citizen Satisfaction Survey Report.
