Bridgewater Borough has launched a feature rich and information packed new website (BridgewaterPA.org), causing BeaverCountian.com to update its Open Government Grade from an “F” to a “B” this week. It is just one of several municipalities who have made dramatic improvements in transparency since BeaverCountian.com first began grading local governments in October.
BeaverCountian.com gives a letter grade to every municipality, every public school district and the county government. It measures one thing: how easy each government makes it for taxpayers to see what their elected officials are doing in public meetings (learn more about how we grade). The grade appears on the Community Dashboards, innovative information hubs published by BeaverCountian.com for each municipality in Beaver County.
