(New Brighton , Pa.) New Brighton Borough Council met on Thursday night and named Valerie McElvy as the new Mayor. McElvy was named to the position after the untimely passing of Mayor Tom Albanese.

McElvy is a life long member of New Brighton who has served the community for over 45 years. She has served on the board of the New Brighton Business District and on Borough Council.  Miss Val is the epitome of what a mayor represents. She owns and operates We’re at Your Service in New Brighton which is a business that is all about helping others in the community that are in need. When anything needs done in New Brighton Miss Val is always the first one to dig in and help. She works hard collecting donations to provide needy families with food and gifts each holiday.

Beaver County Radio spoke with Miss Val and she said “she always tells everyone that she was planted and grew in New Brighton and now she has bloomed”

Beaver County Radio is proud to call Miss Val a friend and congratulate her on such a well deserved honor.
