DuBois City Council votes in favor of consolidation study

DuBois, PA – DuBois City Council voted in favor of starting the first steps in what could be an eventual consolidation of DuBois and Sandy Township.

All members of the council voted to fund a study to determine the pros and cons of merging the two municipalities into one.

The vote comes in response to a proposal by Sandy Township Supervisors, which sent a letter to DuBois City Council last week.

This idea has been brought up many times over the years, and it was officially considered two other times by the city council and township board. However, it was voted down the last time it was debated in 2002.

Historically, it has been Sandy Township that voted against consolidation in the past. Because Sandy Township was the municipality to initiate the talks this time, many people are taking that as a sign that consolidation might actually happen.
