Township History:
Findlay
Township is a scenic region of forested hills, open fields and steeply
cut stream valleys. It is located on the Allegheny Plateau, as is most
of Western Pennsylvania. The Township is characterized by great
variations in topography with relatively broad, rounded hills about
1000 feet wide which are dissected by often deep v-shaped stream
valleys. The active downcutting of the streams accounts for the
landslide prone nature of many of the stream valley walls. Many of
these streams have significant flood plains which extend up the valley
walls.

The airport generated development is fully expected to be realized and the residents of the township are convinced that they can influence the quality and nature of that development. They encourage the extensive business development in the community with the understanding that design standards and performance criteria will result in better environments for all concerned.
