New Salem Borough Council · August 4, 2026

Summary

Zoning Officer Mike Hammers reported multiple property maintenance violations at addresses on S. Main and N. Main, is researching two CSG-owned group homes in a single-family zone, and is reviewing a Special Exception request by Immaculate Grounds to add a dog grooming service at 301 N Main.

Zoning and Codes Enforcement Officer Mike Hammers told council he issued one permit for an electrical-panel upgrade and is researching two group homes owned by CSG that are located in a single-family zone; owners said they will research and return with findings.
