Malissa Davis RIP

Malissa Davis, VP of Bethlehem Tp's Board of  Commissioners, passed away on Friday after a lengthy illness.  She had served on Bethlehem Tp's Board since 2016, and prior to that, was a regular at their biweekly meetings. 

An environmentalist, Davis was initially drawn to township government by the rapid pace of development in a once rural area. Her background at Foster Wheeler as a cost estimator enabled her to wade through the weeds of line items at budget time. She also was an advocate for open government. She encouraged public comment and organized informal monthly "Meet the Commissioners" meetings at the community center to hear the concerns of residents.
