In a recent government meeting, officials discussed the financial outlook for the 2025 budget, revealing a projected total of $285,000. This figure includes anticipated aid from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania amounting to $79,052 and additional support from Lancaster County totaling $6,750, bringing the combined aid to $85,802.

However, the officials expressed concern over a significant budget shortfall. With the estimated budget set at $285,000, there remains a gap of $199,198 that must be addressed. This shortfall poses a considerable challenge for local authorities as they strategize on how to bridge the funding deficit for the upcoming fiscal year. The discussions highlighted the need for careful financial planning and potential adjustments to ensure the budget can be balanced effectively.
