Q. What is being done with the old Second Street building?

The Borough of Northumberland purchased the former Second Street building in 2000.  Since then, Council has committed itself to finance any renovations through grant, and not tax money.  In 2002, the Borough was awarded nearly $200,000 to help install a new roof to the building.  In 2006, the Borough finally received additional funding in the amount of $400,000.  At this time, final plans are being drafted which will then be released to the public.

Q.  I have a complaint, who should I talk to?

As a general rule, you should first contact the Borough office at 473-1990 to discuss your issue.  Thereafter, you might be asked to address Council or talk to the mayor.  Since Council typically only meets twice a month, calling the Borough office first is your best chance at a quick resolution.

Q.  Do I live in the Borough?

Surprisingly, the answer might be 'no'!  The Borough of Northumberland includes properties from below Priestley-Avenue to the south side of Eighth street.  From the north side of Eighth street and onward is Point Township and not the Borough.  Even though your address might say Northumberland, you might not actually live there.  Leaving towards Danville, The Borough ends right before the old Prudential Building, where Point Township begins. 

Q. Can anyone drop off recycling at the Northumberland Glass Center?

During normal operating hours, ANYONE can drop off recycling, regardless of where you live.
