South Strabane Extends Manager’s Deal

South Strabane Township Manager Jeffery Ziegler has landed a two-year contract extension.  The board unanimously voted 5-0 to extend his agreement with the township in their monthly meeting Tuesday evening. Ziegler was hired last August replacing Brandon Stanick.  Ziegler previously worked for Moon township for 13 years. Also on the meeting agenda, a representative for Berkshire Hathaway was on hand to discuss plans for 1045 Locust Ave. Developers want to build on the 63 plus acre property but the current substation that would service the property is at maximum capacity. The township says it is up to the developer to incur any cost for building out or upgrading the current pumping station. Chief of South Strabane Fire and Emergency, Jordan Cramer was recognized for his new position as a board member for the Volunteer and Combination offices section of the International Association of Fire Chiefs. The VCOS board consists of nine members at-large and the VCOS international director, for a total of ten board members.
