Duryea Borough demolition fund request
Duryea spent over $60,000 tearing down a fire-gutted, blighted Main Street building and wants Act 152 demolition funds back. Staff confirmed the fund is suited for exactly this and has $78,005 on hand; expect a council vote soon.

Landlord contact information list (Act 29)
Under a new state law, counties must keep a contact list for real properties, and council had to pass an ordinance to set the $500 fine for false or outdated info. Owner-occupied homes are exempt, so this mostly affects out-of-area landlords, LLCs and trusts.
