As we head into Memorial Day weekend, Moon Township is advising residents that the township’s memorial stones have been temporarily relocated because of a renovation project that is underway in the township memorial garden.

The memorials for military service members and Moon Township volunteer fire fighters will be placed on the patio in front of the municipal building for Memorial Day services. Services for the Moon Township Volunteer Fire Company begin at 11 a.m. A list of scheduled services provided by the Keith-Holmes Post 402 V.F.W. can be found here.

Also, please note that Moon Township offices will be closed on Monday, May 30, in observance of Memorial Day.

At a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony, Moon Township and Clearview Federal Credit Union will publicly unveil Moon Park’s newly-constructed Clearview Federal Credit Union Pavilion.

The Ribbon Cutting Ceremony will be held at 5 p.m. Wednesday, May 25, at the Clearview Federal Credit Union Pavilion, located adjacent to the new tennis courts in Moon Park.

In continuation of its longtime support for Moon Township Parks and Recreation, Clearview Federal Credit Union sponsored the development of Moon Park’s newest picnic pavilion, which will open for reservations next week.

Representatives from the Moon Township Board of Supervisors and Clearview Federal Credit Union will be present at the ceremony to cut the ribbon on the new pavilion and present it to the community. Community members are encouraged to attend Wednesday’s Ribbon Cutting Ceremony to view the newest addition to Moon Park.

At Moon Township’s second Comprehensive Plan meeting, steering committee members and resident attendees reviewed the plan’s major components and discussed details for a community survey, which will be released to township residents to gather a wide range of public input for the plan.

Project consultant D. Jeffry Pierce of Olsen & Associates also distributed Comprehensive Plan project books, which are sectioned off by the planning elements required by the Pennsylvania Municipalities Planning Code. An electronic version of the project book will be posted on the Comprehensive Plan web page, and a hard copy is available for review at the Moon Township Municipal Building.

Following the plan overview, attendees divided into discussion groups with the task of identifying Moon Township’s primary strengths and weaknesses. The focus group findings will be compiled and presented at the next Comprehensive Plan Committee meeting, which is scheduled for 5:30 p.m. Wednesday, June 8, at the Moon Township Municipal Building. Residents are encouraged to attend these public meetings.

In addition to housing the department's vehicle fleet, the Moon Township Public Works Garage is home base for a variety of in-house services ranging from road maintenance and snow removal operations to the township's street sign and welding shops.

To celebrate National Public Works Week, which takes place from May 15 to May 21 this year, the Public Works Department is inviting community members to visit the garage for a behind-the-scenes look at these services.

The Public Works Department will host a public open house on Wednesday May, 18, from 1 to 7 p.m. at the Public Works Garage on Stevenson Mill Road. Stop by and learn more about year-round projects.
