The City is participating in an Early Intervention Program study which evaluates every facet of the daily operations of city government, such as expenditures, revenues and department procedures to see where changes could be made to cut back on expenses, increase revenues and improve the daily functions of City government.
This study has been funded 80% by a grant from the Pensylvannia Department of Community and Economic Development (PA DCED). Keystone Municipal Services has been contracted to manage this study.
"The Early Intervention Program (EIP) provides financial assistance to Pennsylvania Local Governments to develop and implement three to five year financial plans. These plans include short-term and long-term financial and managerial objectives that strengthen the fiscal capacity of Pennsylvania’s county and municipal governments along with the integration of long term community and economic development strategies that strengthen the local government’s tax base."
Reports resulting from this project will be made available here.
