Township Of Upper Allen

What Township Of Upper Allen does

Upper Allen Township is a second-class municipal government under Pennsylvania state law, located in Mechanicsburg, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1850 and currently observing its 175th anniversary, the township is governed by an elected Board of Commissioners led by President Eric Y. Fairchild, with no parent company or subsidiary structure. It delivers the full suite of municipal services to its residents, including police protection, fire services and emergency management, public works (road maintenance, snow removal, brush and leaf collection), sewer and stormwater management, trash and recycling collection, parks and recreation, community development (building permits, zoning, code enforcement, floodplain management), and tax collection. The township operates more than sixteen parks and recreational facilities, anchored by the multi-phase Generations Park project at 1340 E. Lisburn Road.

Underlying technology is limited to standard third-party government platforms rather than proprietary systems: the public-facing website (uatwp.org) is powered by Revize; online bill payment, permits, parking tickets, and crash reports are processed through InvoiceCloud; permit applications are handled via BSA Online; and resident notifications and community alerts are delivered through the Savvy Citizen app. The township also streams public meetings live via Zoom. There is no disclosed proprietary technology, custom-built platform, or AI/ML capability.

The township's revenue model is non-commercial and entirely tax-based. Primary funding comes from property and municipal taxes collected from township residents and property owners, with ancillary fee revenue from pavilion rentals, permits, and service charges set annually via the 2025 Fee Schedule (Resolution 1104). Service delivery is geographically constrained to the township boundaries, with no out-of-jurisdiction or export-of-services revenue. External partnerships with PPL Electric Utilities, Republic Services, Veolia Water, and Cumberland County support utility, waste, and water service delivery to residents, but do not generate commercial revenue for the township.
