The Verona Flower and Garden Club was established in 2007 by Bob & Mariann Brayer who envisioned the need for both a social and a civic organization that would serve to:
– Promote, encourage, foster and cultivate interest in garden floriculture.
– Assist all members in the care and maintenance of their gardens.
– Encourage civic beautification and roadside development.
– Assist in projects for the conservation of natural resources.
– Cooperate with other agencies in furthering the interests of conservation, horticulture and landscape design.
Generous monetary contributions from the Verona Chamber of Commerce, the Verona Borough, individual businesses and a number of philanthropic citizens, has allowed the VFGC to complete a number of beautification projects in the central business district of Verona. Notable projects include:• installation of sidewalk planters in the Verona business district
• installed a garden along Allegheny River Boulevard (corner of James St. & ARB)
• hanging flower baskets on the Roger Duffy viaduct
• Verona gazebo improvement project
• improvement to the steps leading to Verona’s parklet

Borough council meetings are held on the 2nd Tuesday of every Month at 7 PM in the council chamber if the Verona Municipal Building. Borough council work session meetings are held the last Tuesday of each month at 7 PM in the council chamber of the Verona Municipal BuildingPennsylvania delegates authority to borough government to represent the citizens within its electoral district in governmental affairs and to protect their inalienable rights. Being given this power, borough government is obligated to use its authority to judiciously defend every individual’s rights for the well being of the society as a whole. Borough government is a legitimate entity because, (1) its governing body is elected by popular vote and (2) because it is defined through written laws (State’s Borough Code). Borough government acts as the local overseer of rules that act as regulators that guide society. It acts as the representative that speaks for and on behalf of its citizens at the various levels of government. The role of local government is constantly evolving. As it changes, so does its influence and responsibilities to its constituents. The responsibilities taken by modern borough government is increasingly complex in nature; the actions taken by borough government may have profound and long lasting effects on the borough it serves.
