Commissioner reports site visit to Tanner's Run damage in Millersburg; county-level role still undecided
Summary
Commissioner Priess and county staff visited Millersburg to inspect damage from Tanner's Run; commissioners said the issue has been longstanding and that county involvement will be determined after further internal discussion and with the full board.
Commissioner Priess told the Dauphin County Planning Commission on May 5 that he and county staff had visited Millersburg Borough to inspect damage at the Tanner's Run site, including roadway impacts and an apartment building with structural concerns. Priess said he shared photos with state and local elected officials and local council members and urged the county Board of Commissioners to consider the matter, though he said county leadership had not yet decided what role the county would take.
"I got an opportunity to to see a lot of the layout, as well as the impact on some of the buildings and the businesses, and the one apartment building where there's a lot of damage," Priess said, and that he shared photos with the state representative and state senator and local officials.
Commissioners and staff described the problem as a long-standing issue that has worsened. The commission discussed previous engineering reviews and noted that Millersburg Borough is holding funds pending final engineering conclusions. Commissioner Priess said the county commissioners will address the issue once the full board is reconvened.
Why it matters: the site visit and intergovernmental coordination could affect public-safety responses, infrastructure repairs, and potential funding requests. No formal county action was recorded at the May 5 planning commission meeting.
