  • Sandra Fisk Vlahanoy City Borough Manager 239 E. Pine St.

    Mahanoy City, PA
    Other

    Mahanoy City Borough, Pennsylvania, has experienced significant population decline from 15,936 residents in 1910 to 3,912 in 2021 due to the collapse of the coal mining industry, resulting in numerous abandoned properties throughout the municipality. To address blight, the Borough established a Blight/Demolition Fund in 2014 funded by real estate taxes (approximately 1.5 mils) and $50,000 annually in earned income tax revenue, supplemented by Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocations totaling $96,056 in 2021, of which $45,146 was allocated to demolition projects. The Borough faces potential loss of CDBG funding in 2022 due to Act 179 population requirements and has secured additional grant funding, including approval for $133,000 to demolish three properties.
