With a $385 million budget and close to 2,400 employees, Montgomery County provides a wide range of services serving social needs, business development, employee training, recreational opportunities, public safety, court services and roads and bridges. The county provides and coordinates social services in innovative and efficient ways through several departments including the Office of Children and Youth, Developmental Disabilities, and Aging and Adult Services. Montgomery County maintains 75 miles of roads and 133 bridges; has developed over 60 miles of multi-use trails throughout the county; and cares for seven county parks and five historic sites.

Italian-American Heritage Month is celebrated every year to honor and recognize the centuries of achievements, successes, and valuable contributions of Italian immigrants and Italian Americans! This year, our employees and neighbors came together to learn about the history of Italian Americans and grab a couple cannolis and a coffee. We were joined by Dr. Giusi Russo, Associate Professor of History at Montgomery County Community College, for a discussion about how early Italian migrants faced a myriad of struggles while contributing to building American cities and making the economy work. She also explored how Italian Americans bonded with marginalized groups to contribute to the creation of the incredibly rich, varied, and unique mosaic that is American culture. Thanks to all the attendees who spent time reflecting on how Italian Americans weaved themselves into America’s social and cultural fabric.
