Supervisor Bosworth said of the PI Advisory committees, “Some of our mainstay programs that we enjoy today such as our transportation program and our Pedestrian safety committee were a result of advisory committee meetings. By having all of you as our eyes and ears in the senior community, we are able to respond to your needs and create and implement programs that are the most beneficial for senior residents in the Town.”
