Doylestown Borough’s 2025 Annual Report is now available!
Borough Manager John Davis shares why this report was created and what 2025 meant for our community:
"I am pleased to present what is intended to be the first edition of the Doylestown Borough Annual Report. For over two decades, the Borough has sought to achieve greater and greater transparency by embracing new methods of outreach. The sheer volume of available information, however, can make it difficult for busy residents to effectively digest. This publication is an effort to address 'information overload' by distilling the information into a user-friendly format. We believe that informed residents are residents empowered to hold their government to the highest standards.
2025 was a year of change for Doylestown Borough government. An ambitious staff reorganization created our first ever Director of Parks and Recreation and put in place a number of enthusiastic new department heads. This year of transition has seen these new department heads integrate with seasoned staff to create an exciting new blend of energy and experience.
2025 was also a year of challenge. The Borough grappled with threats to our public water quality, soaring energy costs, the impacts of climate change, economic competitiveness, and rising concerns for the safety of our pedestrians and cyclists, along with the typical issues of aging infrastructure, rising costs, and the constant need to provide services more effectively and efficiently.
This report is a summary of our efforts and will help you determine how well we succeeded. We encourage you to stay informed by attending public meetings and by subscribing to official Borough communication channels, including D-Mail and our social media."
