Business, Industrial, and Professional Association of Palmer
Township is a unique business organization in that there is a
very close working relationship between business and the government
of the township. The BIP was established in 1976 when representatives
of the business community and members of the Board of Supervisors
worked together to form the organization. Since that time the
BIP has grown considerably and through it members has been involved
in a number of community projects as noted in this site. The
Board of Supervisors is very proud of the township's business
community and they, in turn, are pleased to be in Palmer and
to do their part in enhancing the township. This co-operation
between government and business helps make Palmer Township a
viable business location. It is our intent that this web site
highlight what the BIP is all about and what we can do for the
business community. |
