Frugality was the word of the day Thursday in tiny Loyalhanna Township in northern Westmoreland County.
Supervisors of the township, with a population of about 2,300 people, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on a new, five-bay public works garage that cost just more than $1 million.
But the cost wasn’t covered by a bond or loan. Instead, it was paid in cash that supervisors “socked away a little bit at a time for more than 30 years,” said Mary Trunzo, township secretary-supervisor.
“Yes. We built it and paid for it, and I can say the township’s still debt-free,” Trunzo said. “We haven’t raised taxes here in over 20 years.”
