Controversial Project

The Cedar Street property was acquired by the Borough in 2017 for the purposes of building a pocket park. It remains highly controversial in the community since many believe that borough leadership improperly advertised its intentions and left several of its own council members in the dark.

So far, the Cedar Street property has cost taxpayers $268,000 just in budget outlays. The lost tax revenue to both the borough and the school district is not accounted for in the Borough’s budget
