Crafton Borough

What Crafton Borough does

Crafton Borough is a second-class municipal borough located in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, originally established in 1892. It serves as the local governing authority for residents and businesses within its geographic boundaries, delivering a standard portfolio of municipal services that includes police and public safety, public works, parks and trails, a swimming pool, trash and recycling collection, a shade tree program, a community farm, permits, zoning administration, and local tax collection. The borough is governed by an elected council and mayor, with day-to-day operations supported by approximately 16 employees.

The borough's digital infrastructure is delivered through the Munibit platform, which powers its official website and resident self-service portal, including passkey-based authentication for secure account access. It has additionally integrated the Savvy Citizen mobile application to push notifications and resident communications to a broader digital audience. These technology components extend rather than replace traditional in-person service delivery.

Crafton's revenue model is that of a typical Pennsylvania borough: it is funded through a combination of local real estate and other municipal taxes, user fees for permits and services, and grants. It does not pursue commercial revenue and does not operate as a market-facing business. Recent strategic activity — including the launch of a Vacant Property Recovery Program, advancement of the Broadhead Project, and adoption of digital-resident tools — indicates measured expansion of services within its existing jurisdictional footprint rather than geographic or commercial growth.
