Steelton Council Backs Enterprise Zone Application to Promote Redevelopment
Summary
Council voted unanimously to support an Enterprise Zone application aimed at positioning the Cleveland Cliffs site and the borough’s industrial corridor for future investment and remediation; the designation does not change zoning or create tax implications, a regional economic official said.
Steelton Borough Council unanimously approved Resolution 2026-R-23 on June 15 to support designation of the borough as an Enterprise Zone and to allow staff to apply to the Commonwealth. Ryan Unger of the Harrisburg Regional Chamber and Capital Region Economic Development Corp told the council the program is intended to help the borough and regional partners prioritize funding for redevelopment and environmental assessment tied to the Cleveland Cliffs site.
Unger told residents and council members that the Enterprise Zone would be a tool, not a land-use change. "The designation would not create tax implications, change zoning, or alter land use authority," he said, adding that any future use of the designation would be shaped in partnership with the borough. Borough Manager Myneca Ojo presented the resolution for consideration and council members voted to approve it without dissent.
Council members said the designation could help the borough access state funds and voluntary programs for remediation and small business support. The resolution authorizes borough staff to prepare and submit an application; it does not itself guarantee official designation by the Commonwealth, which will make the final determination.
