The hearing will be <br /> held at the Penn House, 324 Maple Avenue, with <br /> registration beginning at 1:00 pm.

Each year, the Chair of the Board <br /> of Commissioners has attended the hearing and spoken <br /> in support of each municipality's request as well as <br /> other needs which Commissioners have identified. <br /> 4 <br />
