Weisenberg Twp

Supervisor Bob Milot is seeking his fourth term on the board.

A retired president of a trade school affiliated with Kaplan institute, Milot says right now things are going smoothly in Weisenberg.

"There is no pressure from developments and we have lowered taxes four different times," Milot told The Press. "There are three buildings in the industrial park and when replacement of the Route 863 bridge over I-78 is completed, more can go in."

Milot also mentioned the fact during his term in office, the township formed a fire company: the Weisenberg Township Volunteer Fire Company, which will have an open house 10 a.m.-2 p.m. on May 30, featuring special dignitaries, food, games a live burn demonstration and more.

He is a member in several local service organizations including the New Tripoli Fire Company, the Lehigh County Farm Bureau, Rural Preservation Association of Northwestern Lehigh County, and Lynn Heidelberg Historical Society.

"The biggest challenge facing our township is keeping property taxes low without compromising services to our residents," Dietrich says. "I feel we have accomplished this the last five years I have been in office, and if re- elected I would strive to continue that trend.
