Welcome

The Borough has been awarded a Multi-Modal Transportation Grant in the amount of $990,000. An additional $115,000 has been provided to the Borough from the proceeds of the Manheim Area Economic Development Corporation, with the remaining $200,000 of matching funds to be provided from the Borough’s financial reserves which were established for this and other capital projects.

The work will include widening the center “island” area to allow for pedestrian travel, a mid-block designated crosswalk, reconfiguration of the travel lanes and parking areas, and upgrades to the aesthetics and streetscape. These features will improve pedestrian and vehicular safety as well as greatly enhance the character of our historic Square.

More details will be coming in early 2022 along with final design and permitting, with work anticipated to take place in 2023.

The Borough has been awarded SEVEN grants totaling $1,586,931 for the Memorial Park stream restoration project.

This project is a result of a mandate by PA DEP / EPA for the Borough (and all municipalities) to meet the Chesapeake Bay pollution reduction regulatory requirements. Barring unanticipated changes to these requirements, this project will enable the Borough to satisfy the obligations of at least two 5-year permit cycles. These grants will cover the costs of this mandated project, greatly reducing the financial burden on the taxpayers of the Borough.

The project has been awarded to Flyway Excavating and work is now substantially complete.
