City council amended and approved a reallocation of 2025 municipal funds to start a receivership process for Governor Square properties and added a $59,000 appropriation for the Harrisburg Youth Sports Association.
Harrisburg City Council voted unanimously on March 11, 2025, to approve the second proposed 2025 budget reallocation that includes an initial $250,000 commitment to begin placing a qualified receiver over the Governor Square residential properties and an added $59,000 appropriation for the Harrisburg Youth Sports Association.
