LOCK HAVEN Clinton County Commissioner Jeffrey Snyder got a surprise at Thursday’s county commissioners meeting.
The commissioners had secretly invited Lisa Schaefer, executive director of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP), to the Zoom meeting to offer some pretty special congratulations to the three-term commissioner. It seems Gov. Tom Wolf and Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Dennis Davin announced that Snyder is a recipient of the 2021 Governor’s Awards for Local Government Excellence.
Snyder, who served as president of CCAP last year, was nominated by CCAP for the honor which is bestowed on communities, organizations and individuals for their dedication and commitment to strengthen their communities and better serve their residents.
