This Week (actually, This Fortnight) in Harrisburg:

Not a lot of government meetings during Christmas (aside from a zoning board hearing tonight, see below). But here are some useful items for market shopping, parking, and champagne-popping over the next several days. We’re including next week to provide information about the city’s New Year’s Eve festivities. Happy holidays!

Monday, Dec. 21

Harrisburg Zoning Hearing Board Meeting, 6 p.m – 8 p.m.
City Hall, 10 N. 2nd Street, Room 213 (Public Safety Auditorium)

The zoning hearing board has a rather full agenda, including an appeal by John Brinjac to continue the use of a private commercial parking lot at 115 N. 2nd Street. You can view the agenda here.
