BOROUGH OF GREENVILLE

What BOROUGH OF GREENVILLE does

The Borough of Greenville is a municipal government entity located in Mercer County, Pennsylvania, serving approximately 5,700 residents across a single geographic jurisdiction governed by a Council-Manager form under a Home Rule charter. It delivers a comprehensive slate of municipal services through dedicated departments: a full-service Police Department (10 sworn officers), a combination paid/volunteer Fire Department (1 Captain, 3 full-time, 7 part-time, and 2 volunteer firefighters answering nearly 1,000 alarms annually with a 3.5-minute average response time and a Class 4 ISO rating), Public Works (maintaining 31 miles of roads, over a mile of public sidewalks, and a 100-year-old storm sewer system), Code Enforcement, Parks and Recreation (Riverside Park, Central Park, Sports Complex), and Economic Development. The Borough operates three wholly-owned subsidiary authorities (Sanitary Authority, Water Authority, Redevelopment Authority) that govern adjacent infrastructure and redevelopment activities.

The business model is funded through recurring property taxes, an annual Stormwater Utility Fee ($100 per ERU), a voter-approved Fire Service Fee ($210 per ERU), building/code permits, and supplemental federal grants including CDBG housing rehabilitation funds ($80,000 per project cap) and a $600,000 EPA Brownfields Assessment Grant received in Fall 2020. Distribution is direct-to-resident through the Municipal Building at 125 Main Street and through contracted service providers (Tri-County Industries for trash/recycling, Aqua Pennsylvania for wastewater, Lawrence County Social Services for CDBG program administration). The technology footprint is non-proprietary and limited to standard municipal infrastructure tooling and a Squarespace-hosted public website. The Borough successfully exited Pennsylvania's Act 47 distressed municipality program in November 2023 after roughly two decades of fiscal recovery, and is now positioned in a deliberate turnaround phase anchored by brownfields redevelopment, zoning modernization (Ordinance 1676), and regional joint planning.
