The Southwest Butler Stormwater Planning Group has received a 2023 Governor’s Award for the collaboration among its 10 municipalities, according to group facilitator Jerry Andree.
“It’s rare in Pennsylvania to have 10 municipalities come together and work so collaboratively on such an issue,” Andree said. “I guess it got the attention of the governor’s office.”
Andree said since the group’s inception, the municipalities have developed an unprecedented support system for stormwater management.
