Hollidaysburg Mayor receives honor of ‘Mayor of the Year'
HOLLIDAYSBURG, Pa. (WTAJ) — Hollidaysburg Mayor Joseph R. Dodson received the esteemed honor of 'Mayor of the Year' at the Pennsylvania Association of Boroughs (PSAB) on Tuesday, June 3.
Mayor Dodson, currently serving his fourth term, was awarded the Albert Montecalvo Mayor of the Year award given by the Association of Mayors of the Boroughs of Pennsylvania. The honor recognized Mayor Dodson for his years of public service and accomplishments.
Presenting the award were PSAB President Thomas Weikel and PSAB 1st Vice President Randy Riddle, who both serve as Mayors of Royersford and Grove City, Pa, respectively.
'His impact is profound and lasting. Mayor Dodson exemplifies servant leadership, and his legacy will inspire generations to come,' Mayor Riddle said.
Mayor Dodson, expressing his gratitude, said, 'It is a great honor to receive this award. I had no idea. There are a lot of great boroughs in Pennsylvania, so to be the one to receive this award is very humbling. I've worked really hard to make Hollidaysburg a better place during my time as Mayor. I don't do it for the recognition, but it's nice for people notice what you're doing.'
In addition to his tenure as mayor, Dodson previously served two terms on the Hollidaysburg Borough Council and remains an active member of American Legion Post 516.
To further celebrate this great achievement, Mayor Dodson was also recognized by State Senator Judy Ward and State Representative Scott Barger back in Hollidaysburg on June 6.
The Albert Montecalvo Mayor of the Year Award is named after Mayor Albert Montecalvo, who served 56 years as mayor, believed to be one of the longest-serving mayors in the state, according to the Association of Mayors of the Boroughs of Pennsylvania website.
