Council approves advertising RFPs for Main Street properties after amendment; vote splits 6–2
Summary
Council voted 6–2 to advertise and accept RFPs for Borough‑owned Main Street properties after an amendment removed the phrase "from realtors." Two councilors voted against the motion; details of sale method were later questioned by a public commenter.
The Mount Joy Borough Council voted to advertise and accept requests for proposals for properties on Main Street owned by the Borough, after an amendment removed the phrase "from realtors" from the original motion.
The motion passed 6–2 on a roll call vote. Councilors David Eichler, Mary Ginder, Bruce Haigh, Philip Kark, Brian Youngerman and President William Hall voted Yes; Councilors Lu Ann Fahndrich and Mitchell Scordo voted No. Public commenter Josh Deering later asked whether a property at 13–15 E. Main Street would be sold as a single parcel or divided, indicating continued community interest in how the Borough will structure potential sales.
Why it matters: Selling publicly owned Main Street properties shapes downtown development and economic activity. The amended motion opens the process to proposals, but details such as parcel division, minimum bids or conditions will be set in the RFP documents or determined later by Council.
