A significant proposal took center stage at the Harrisburg City Planning Commission meeting on October 1, 2025, as plans were unveiled to expand a multifamily dwelling at 1332 North Second Street and 122 Culver Street. The application, presented by Adam Bridal of Brennaman Properties LLC, seeks a variance and special application to add eight new residential units to the existing five, transforming space previously occupied by a funeral home.

This expansion aims to enhance the residential capacity in a medium-density area, reflecting ongoing efforts to address housing needs in Harrisburg. The proposal highlights a shift towards maximizing existing structures while adapting to community demands.

As the commission reviews the application, the potential impact on local housing availability and neighborhood dynamics remains a focal point of discussion. The outcome of this proposal could set a precedent for future developments in the area, emphasizing the importance of balancing growth with community needs.
