Harrisburg City Council proposes $250,000 for Governor Square apartment renovations
(WHTM) — The Harrisburg City Council is proposing $250,000 to help the city's Governor Square apartments get back up to code.
Officials say residents at the 221-unit complex are dealing with unsafe living conditions—broken windows, handrails, and, in some cases, no water or electricity. Part of the money would be used to appoint a receiver to manage the property.
'We had a presentation by solicitor Grover Hooks who explained why this was the first step in a long process, but it would allow for work to begin to be done for residents living in this property,' said Ausha Green, the committee's Chair of Budget and Finance.
Council members say the money to fix the units comes from American Rescue Plan Act not clear yet who the receiver will be, but members are suggesting Midtown Property Management.
