Delaware County Council will once again hold its public meeting in the community with the goal of providing residents with more options to interact with their county government leaders. Council will hold its public meeting at 6:00 p.m. on Wednesday, May 29 at the Thornbury Township Building located at 6 Township Dr. Cheyney, PA.

“Holding evening meetings in the community makes it more convenient for some Delaware County residents to attend a council meeting and become more involved with their local government,” said Delaware County Council Chairman John McBlain. “It also gives Council the opportunity to highlight events and accomplishments of the residents, local groups and leaders.”
