West Goshen Township is a Second Class Township.  It is governed by three Supervisors, elected at large for staggered six year terms.  The Board derives their duties and responsibilities from sources like the Second Class Township Code and the Pennsylvania Municipalities Code. These responsibilities include construction and maintenance of roads and bridges; zoning and subdivision of land; regulation of building and construction; highway lighting, signing, and signalization; designating funds for fire and emergency services; parks and recreation programs; construction and maintenance of sewer systems; and regulations to promote the welfare of the community.  The Board establishes Township policy, adopts legislation, and grants final approval of the many functions of township government at public meetings.
