South Fayette continues moving forward

Autumn is a great time to reflect on what keeps South Fayette moving forward—both literally and figuratively.

Our team is dedicated to progress, from the Public Works mechanics who keep our fleet of vehicles and equipment running smoothly (page 20), to the Parks and Recreation staff who spearheaded paving the Panhandle Trail in Sturgeon (page 11).

Community spirit was on full display at South Fayette Community Day in August. More than 5,000 people came together to celebrate our residents, businesses and organizations (page 22). And as we plan for the upcoming holidays, events such as Joy-Thru Fairview (page 35) remind us that gatherings and traditions foster pride and bring us closer as a community.

We’re also enhancing how we connect with citizens. In addition to South Fayette Connect magazine and our online resources—including five social media channels and a website that has attracted more than 2 million visits—you can tune in to South Fayette TV on Comcast channel 14 for community information and replays of public meetings (page 2). It’s another way we’re keeping you informed and engaged all year long.
