What’s the advantage in changing from a township to a village?

"We're Glad You Asked That"

Q&A Video Clips

Why are villages permitted to be agencies under Act 51? What other differences are there between township and village governments? Attorney William Fahey answers these questions.

At the MTA 2019 Conference, our attorney’s hosted our annual Question and Answer panel to address the questions you submitted. Our panel included Bill Fahey, Kyle O’Meara, Jacob Witte, and Matthew Kuschel, hosted by Christopher Patterson. Between them, this panel represents decades of experience in sectors ranging municipal law, public utilities, labor & employment, and more. Questions include everything from Medical Marihuana to land use permits. New clips will be shared monthly in our E-Newsletter.

Do you have more questions? Reach out to us. We’re always ready to help.
