The Mayor extended the Disaster Declaration for another 7 days. We ask that you continue to follow the precautions of the CDC and follow the mandates of the Governor. We, in Pennsylvania, have not been faced with the worse yet and if we continue to follow these directions, hopefully we won’t.
Mayor signed a Declaration of Disaster Emergency. This declaration covers costs associated with the emergency protective measures that are being taken to protect the residents of the Borough. This is a funding declaration and it is not necessary for residents to take any action.

Harrisburg Promise currently has over 50 Steelton-Highspire students from the seventh to tenth grades enrolled in this program. This is their fourth year. The Harrisburg Promise Program promises our students two years of their education at HACC if they graduate from high school, maintain a 2.5 GPA, commit to attending monthly sessions at HACC, and refrain from doing drugs.
Dear Valued Residents:
This year Steelton Borough officials and staff worked hard behind the scenes to keep existing projects moving forward and look towards the future. While the progress we are making may not be flashy, and may not yet be highly visible, 2019 marked a year in which we continued to build the foundation for a successful future.
Here are just a few items in which we made significant progress in 2019:
‘The Steel Works’ development to transform downtown Steelton with a new grocery store, brewpub, apartments and more.
At its August 27th meeting, the Steelton Borough Authority approved Resolution 2018-AR-01 awarding the bid for the purchase of the Steelton Water System to Pennsylvania American Water.
Under the LERTA — Local Economic Revitalization Tax Assistance Program – work done in the downtown commercial district along Front Street, between Conestoga Street to Strawberry Alley and in the 100 block of Adams Street, is eligible for 10 years of property tax relief.
New construction or renovation done elsewhere in the borough is eligible for reduced property taxes over nine years. Under the plan, property outside the commercial zone can receive 100 percent abatement for the first five years, 80 percent in year six; 60 percent in year 7; 40 percent in year 8; and a 20 percent break in year nine before paying the full amount on improved properties in year 10.
Yesterday, the Pennsylvania Department of Health awarded KW Ventures Holdings LLC operating as Firefly Dispensaries a permit to operate a medical cannabis dispensary in Steelton Borough. Firefly was the only awardee in Dauphin County and only one of four dispensaries awarded a permit in the South-Central Region.
Firefly will build a brand new state-of-the-art facility at 801 South Front Street which will serve as its flagship location.
Firefly is working closely with Steelton Borough and Police Chief Minium to coordinate development of the dispensary to maximize security and community benefit.
Steelton Borough congratulates Firefly and welcomes Jonathan Gusdorff and the team to our town. We are looking forward to a top-notch facility and business. Thank you for your commitment to Steelton Borough.
