John Pozza covered the Brookville Borough Council Meeting on Tuesday evening and reports…
The borough will be sending a letter to Historic Brookville, Inc. for guidance on how to replace several broken bricks on Main Street to help improve the downtown streetscape. Some of the bricks are starting to become a safety hazard for pedestrians. The cost of replacing the bricks is the responsibility of the individual property owners. Council will review a sample quality of life ordinance for possible enactment. The ordinance is on the books in other municipalities including Reynoldsville. The ordinance would address the proper maintenance of individual property before it would ever reach the point of becoming blighted.
Council also approved the planning commission’s recommendation on Penn Highland’s plans for construction of a new medical office building next to the Penn Highlands Brookville hospital.
