We are on the Web

This website came online Tuesday, July 9, 2008. Tell your Porter Township friends the address of this website www.PorterTwp.org. This is our place to keep residents aware of improvements to roads, bridges, and any other pertinent information. Please review this and let us know what you like and dislike about the site. If you have something that you think should be on the site, let us know. I will continue to place photos on the site of the progress of the improvements and interesting pictures from our roads. This township is very historic, and I would like to include pictures of interesting and unusual houses, barns, and historic buildings. If you have something of this nature please contact me at trustee1@PorterTwp.org.

We wish to thank Andrew M. Dudas, Ph.D. and the Center for Public Management and Regional Affairs at Miami University for the vast amount of time required to help me put Porter Township on the I-net.

Thank You,
Bob Ryan
Porter Township Board of Trustees
