I am extremely honored to start the new year by joining South Fayette as Township Manager. I couldn’t be more optimistic about the township's unbridled potential, and I look forward to getting to know the fabric of the community, especially the residents, employers, volunteers and other stakeholders who positively influence the township.
I am extremely grateful that the Board of Commissioners has entrusted me with the responsibility of serving. With the help and support of our elected officials and talented staff, we can build on past successes and propel South Fayette Township into an even more robust and dynamic community.
There is much to be excited for in 2019, and my pledge is to be diligent in my efforts and to maintain transparency in our operations to ensure that residents are engaged and aware of the issues facing us.
The strength of local government continues to be the hard work and dedication of citizens who give their time and attention to the township.
We benefit from your volunteer effort, whether it is through serving our fire departments, dedicating time to a board or commission, staying connected through our print and online resources, participating in a recreational event, or simply engaging in public discourse. Whatever your interests may be, I encourage you to stay involved.
As we embark on the new year, please feel free to call my office to say hello or stop by the township building to meet in person.
I look forward to stepping up to the opportunities and challenges in the township and wish everyone in the community all the best for a successful 2019.
Thank you,
John M. Barrett
South Fayette Township Manager
