Welcome Spring!

With warmer weather comes outdoor activities. Children will be outside playing, riding bikes, walking to and from school, and enjoying the weather. More people will be outside on our streets. Be mindful of traffic signs, stop signs, and speed limits. Slow down on borough streets and obey all stop signs.
If you are performing any property maintenance or additions to your home or on your property, contact Bill Carpenter to determine if a permit is required.
