Honoring a Legend - Bruno Sammartino

In April, Sangree Park was officially renamed "Bruno Sammartino Park". Members of Bruno's family, several Township Commissioners and a large number of fans were on hand to see the new sign unveiled. Bruno was a Ross resident for 58 years! The Township wishes to thank the Sammartino family for their decades of contributions to our community.

Local Government Academy Intern

Joey Belanger has been selected as our 2021 Local Government Academy (LGA) Intern. The LGA Municipal Intern Program connects local governments with undergraduate or graduate students seeking experience working in government. Joey's focus this summer will be on maximizing technological capabilities in our Board Room, refreshing current policies and procedures, implementing our new mobile app and revamping our website.

Joey is a 2019 graduate of North Hills High School and has been a Ross resident since 2002. This is his second summer as an intern with Ross Township. He is majoring in Computer Science and will complete his Associates Degree at CCAC with dual enrollment at Robert Morris University this fall. Joey enjoys spending time with his friends and family, listening to music, working with computers, writing and fishing with his grandfather.

Welcome to the team, Joey!
