	Donegal Township recognized by the Corbett Administration Donegal Township in Washington County, PA was one of three communities in the Greater Pittsburgh region recently recognized by Pennsylvania Governor Corbett’s Administration for their innovative approach to providing municipal services in a cost effective manner. This recognition was obtained because of their merger with West Alexander Borough and the multi-municipal comprehensive planning effort with Claysville Borough, which is currently being led by Mackin.

	Hares Hill Road Bridge Rehabilitation wins Preservation Award Mackin recently received the Stewardship Initiative Award from Preservation Pennsylvania for the preservation and rehabilitation of the historic Hares Hill Road Bridge over French Creek in East Pikeland Township, Chester County, PA. The Hares Hill Road Bridge, originally built in 1869, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and is the last known surviving example of Thomas William Moseley’s “Wrought-Iron Lattice Girder Bridge” design. Mackin’s work on the Hares Hill Road Bridge preserved the bridge while increasing its load capacity without impacting the historic features of the bridge.

	Congressman Tim Murphy Visits Mackin Congressman Tim Murphy paid a visit to the Pittsburgh Office. He met with our Principals to discuss the importance of funding for transportation and how the Southern Beltway's Final Design and Construction can further our region's progress. By completing the Southern Beltway it will provide an alternate route to the Pittsburgh International Airport from the highly growing Southpointe development and alleviate congestion on the Parkway West. This meeting was followed by a short question and answer period with the Pittsburgh Office employees.
