Sometimes a small community has big plans.

Thus is the case with the borough of New Galilee in northern Beaver County, and Mayor Mark Benes joined Matt Drzik to talk about those plans on the April 8 edition of A.M. Beaver County. Benes has been the mayor of the borough for six years, and prior to that he was on council for the borough and helped establish the New Galilee CommUNITY Foundation in 2012.

Benes, who grew up in New Galilee, is happy to see the ongoing growth of the events coming to the community…but he doesn’t want it to stop there. “We’ve always been pushing for infrastructure, sewage, and water,” he said. “For now, the kids and taking care of these community events and making sure they have positive things to do within the borough is kind of what we’re pushing.

The mayor is also hoping that the growth of New Galilee comes with cooperation and partnership from neighboring municipalities such as Darlington to help boost connections and opportunities within both communities.
