Washington Township residents who want to get involved in local government are invited to apply for an open seat on the township’s five-member Zoning Commission.
Commission members are appointed by Washington Twp. Trustees who are looking for a diversity of backgrounds and previous successful volunteer experience.

The commission recommends changes to the township zoning map and Zoning Resolution, the legal document that controls and coordinates land use in the township’s unincorporated area, and makes recommendations on final development plans for construction in Planned Development Districts.
Zoning Commission members serve five-year, staggered terms. Residents of unincorporated Washington Township who are interested in applying should submit a letter of interest that includes relevant past professional and volunteer experience. The deadline for first consideration is 4 p.m. Feb. 9, however, the position will remain open until filled.
