Keeping Allegheny County Informed
The Allegheny County government touches the lives of our residents in many ways: we maintain hundreds of bridges, pave and plow county roads, maintain county parks and pools, help constituents with marriage licenses and passports, administer elections, answer 9-1-1 calls, and so much more. Because our reach and responsibilities are vast, we have a team of communications professionals that are responsible for sharing information with the public and the media about critical county functions. Learn more about the team below.
