York City RDA reports balances and notes Penn Market cleanup volunteers
Summary
RDA staff reported a general fund balance of $627,487.29 and CDBG balances the board summarized as $203,433.51; board members also described a Penn Market cleanup effort with 12 volunteers, an eight-cubic-yard dumpster, and follow-up hauling and documentation work.
At its meeting, York City RDA staff reported fiscal balances and highlighted a volunteer-led cleanup at Penn Market aimed at stabilizing operations.
Staff member David reported the general fund balance as $627,487.29 and discussed Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) accounts; later in the meeting the board summarized CDBG holdings as a total of $203,433.51 across accounts (including an account reported as $87,190). In one exchange the transcript records an unclear figure — "for 2026 we added 70 75,000" — that was not clarified on the record; the exact amount and intent of that remark were not specified in the meeting and require follow-up for confirmation.
In the chair's report, board members described a Penn Market cleanup day organized by Hannah that used an eight-cubic-yard dumpster and scheduled a junk hauler to remove remaining items. Hannah said volunteers compiled six spreadsheets tracking market information as part of a preliminary operational stabilization plan; the effort involved 12 volunteers.
The board did not take formal fiscal action on those items at the meeting; staff indicated routine property payment updates (balances of $1,000 for 326 Wallace and $8,000 for 148 East Maple) and said the deeds would be transferred once payments are made.
