Harrisburg City Council approves Uptown police substation, Reed artifact auction

June 23, 2026 | by Maddie Gittens

Site of the future Uptown police substation in the Uptown Plaza shopping center (middle).

A police substation, a Reed-era auction, and city budgeting assistance were all given the green light by Harrisburg on Tuesday.

City Council approved several resolutions following lengthy discussions last week, most notably pushing forward the police bureau’s plan to enhance its presence in Uptown and a plan to coordinate an auction of former Mayor Steve Reed’s artifacts.

Harrisburg police plan to lease a vacant former pet store at 2965 N. 7^th St., in the Uptown Plaza shopping center, for $1 a year for use as a substation. The space will initially be used as needed, but will eventually have regular hours open to the public once the bureau is able to staff it full-time.

Additionally, council approved the city to work with Harrisburg-based Cordier Auctions to sell what officials say are the remaining artifacts collected by the late mayor Reed. Reed purchased thousands of items and artifacts, using city funds, which he wanted to use for a series of museums that never got built. Over the past several years, Harrisburg, as well as Reed’s estate, has been auctioning the items off.

The city can now move forward with cataloguing everything that’s left, stored in city basements, closets and offices to make a list to later present to council.

In other news, council approved a contract with Keystone Municipal Solutions for budget management assistance. The Harrisburg-based firm will utilize Marita Kelley, a former finance director for the city, to assist the city, since Harrisburg currently has a vacant budget manager position. Harrisburg will pay Keystone $140 per hour. Council voted 5-2 to approve the contract, with council President Danielle Hill and council member Jocelyn Rawls voting “no” due to what they said was a dysfunctional 2023 budget process, when Kelley led the city department.

Finally, council voted to require that the city solicitor respond to council legislative requests within 30 days.

Resolutions related to reallocating money to city parks projects and a proposed apartment project at 100 N. 13^th St. were tabled.

Revitalization workshop draws thoughts on public space design, use for downtown Harrisburg

June 23, 2026 | by Alexandra Jones

Public space workshop

Harrisburg residents weighed in on public space use on Tuesday at another workshop dedicated to downtown revitalization.

The PA Downtown Center held the event at Camp Curtin middle school.

Alongside the city and state leaders and the Harrisburg Regional Chamber and CREDC, the center has been leading a planning effort for the revitalization of the capital city’s struggling downtown with funding from the state Department of Community and Economic Development.

The public workshops follow a survey distributed by the center on the perception of downtown wherein more than 40% of respondents said the city doesn’t offer enough outdoor amenities.

Iris Quigley, special projects and content development specialist for the center, said the survey also found the top three profiles of Harrisburg: working class families, connected young professionals, and longtime locals.

Quigley encouraged attendees to use this information as they discussed public space.

“We need our public spaces to be representative of who’s using them,” Quigley said.

The center split the roughly 25 attendees into pairs. They discussed preferences on gathering space, downtown lighting, traffic calming efforts and more, and voted on visual ideas presented on boards around the room using stickers.

Voting on public space ideas

Participants relayed vote justifications to the room during a subsequent group discussion.

Riverfront space was one topic of discussion.

Julie Fitzpatrick, executive director of the center, encouraged participants to consider how Harrisburg could do a better job incorporating the water feature into Harrisburg’s neighborhoods.

“We have the river. We have the riverfront, but it’s kind of unattainable. It’s inaccessible. It’s not like we are in the water, we’re not doing a lot of activities and engagement,” Fitzpatrick said.

People noted that cars whirring down Front Street can make it difficult for pedestrians to get to the Riverfront safely.

“Crossing front street is like pedestrian roulette,” said David Morrison, executive director of Historic Harrisburg Association. “You never know if a car is going to stop or not stop.”

Another participant noted that she would be hesitant to put any play space for children on the riverfront as it is now because it’s scary to cross. However, she noted it would be nice to have more public space designed around children in the city.

According to Quigley, Harrisburg has twice the youth population of the rest of the state.

While discussing public seating, Fitzpatrick also noted that Harrisburg could develop more gathering space for families.

“We don’t really have a lot of pavilions or places for picnics or family reunions or that sort of thing,” Fitzpatrick said.

Another attendee agreed.

“We don’t really have a mall. Like a place where people can gather,” she said.

Public space workshop

Other subjects discussed included street design, signage, outdoor dining and shade.

Across discussion subjects, attendees noted a preference for flexible public space that could be used for a multitude of purposes.

People also generally preferred more natural public space designs, with greenery or water features, for example, as opposed to more industrial designs.

Another workshop on public space will be held Tuesday night from 6 to 8 p.m. at Camp Curtin.

Two “economic vitality” workshops will be held at Sci Tech Thursday, centered around how Harrisburg can better support businesses. Last week, the center held public workshops on quality of life.

Walk Through History: Historic Harrisburg Association hosts downtown revitalization walking tour

June 23, 2026 | by Rosena Campana

A view of downtown Harrisburg at 3rd and Walnut Streets

Step into the past for a walking tour of downtown Harrisburg.

On Saturday, June 27, Historic Harrisburg Association Executive Director David Morrison will lead “Downtown Harrisburg through the Centuries”, a two-hour walking tour from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.

According to Morrison, the tour’s purpose is to emphasize the aspects of downtown revitalization that have been employed in the past, as well as what’s in progress in the present.

“There’s always lessons to be learned from the past,” Morrison said. “You don’t want to repeat the mistakes of the past, but you can also repeat the successes of the past.”

Much of the city’s and local officials’ focus is on downtown Harrisburg currently–how to increase foot traffic, economic development and quality of life after the pandemic. The Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC, the Pennsylvania Downtown Center and other stakeholders are working on a plan to revitalize the downtown area, and are currently conducting town hall forums.

A preliminary survey conducted by the Pennsylvania Downtown Center showed that many respondents emphasized the importance of historic preservation and the value of historic buildings in the city. Morrison said that these buildings contribute to Harrisburg’s character and identity while also telling its story.

“It opens people’s eyes when we talk about the rich history of the buildings and expands their comprehension of what our great city is all about,” Morrison said.

Individuals interested in attending the walking tour are invited to meet at the Capitol Fountain.

The admission fee is $15 for HHA members and $20 for non-members. Tickets can be purchased with cash or check at the meeting location.

Local small business owners awarded after pitch competition, accelerator program

June 22, 2026 | by Rosena Campana

Jazmin Slaughter, 1st place winner of pitch competition sponsored by M&T Bank

Small business owners who won a local “Shark Tank” style competition will be swimming more easily thanks to awarded funding.

The sixth Harrisburg Small Business Accelerator Program pitch competition and graduation on June 17 recognized and awarded entrepreneurs, capping an eight-week business accelerator program this spring.

The program is hosted yearly by M&T Bank in collaboration with the Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship at Harrisburg University.

Jazmin Slaughter, owner of A Hint of Jazz public relations agency, won the first-place prize of $5,000 for the pitch competition. According to Slaughter, A Hint of Jazz celebrated a five-year milestone one month before the live pitch.

“I am so proud to have earned such a monumental achievement as a small business owner right here in Central Pennsylvania,” said Slaughter. “I met a class full of amazing entrepreneurs in the region who I’m excited to see continue to grow in their work as well. I’m still in shock, but this is something I worked hard for and earned, and I’m just so grateful and appreciative to have been presented with this opportunity.”

Additionally, Kristina Ekwe, owner of Touch of Elegance, earned the competition’s second-place prize of $3,000. Mieshia Jackson, owner of Chef Mi + Kids, won the third-place prize of $2,000.

The eight-week business accelerator program focused on business planning, establishing credit, accessing capital, marketing, branding, networking, etc. The program debuted in 2022, providing small-business owners with free access to resources and education to expand their business. Courses were held weekly at Harrisburg University.

“Small businesses are the backbone of our economy,” said Pennsylvania State Senator Patty Kim. “Now more than ever, we need to do everything in our power to ensure that local entrepreneurs get the mentorship and support they need to be successful. This year’s hardworking participants truly gave this program their all, and I want to sincerely congratulate our winners on a job well done.”

Jewish Federation to list Grass Campus for $8.3 million, elect new board of trustees

June 19, 2026 | by Alexandra Jones

For sale sign at Grass campus

The Jewish Federation of Greater Harrisburg is listing its 6.4-acre Alexander Grass Campus for $8.3 million, according to organization transition leadership.

Transition committee member Sam Levine said the realty group NAI CIR is preparing photography and other materials to market the campus at that list price and that more sale information will soon be publicly available.

He noted the campus has already had several property showings.

“We’re feeling very positive that we’ll be able to sell it,” Levine said. “Hopefully, in a timely manner.”

Other changes are coming in stride with the property sale.

The federation announced Thursday it will soon name a new board of trustees, following feedback received at community meetings.

“The community is very anxious to move forward,” explained Levine. “They just feel that we have to move forward with new leadership.”

Levine said they hope to elect a new board in August.

Its members will be tasked with navigating the federation’s ongoing debt situation—a $9.1 million owed across three mortgages on the campus and around $600,000 of additional debts.

“The board will also be in charge of what our going forward is going to look like,” Levine said.

Grass campus

The transition committee is in the process of forming a nominating committee to present a new slate of officers for the board. Levine said that candidates can either self-nominate or be nominated by others.

The organization announced it was having financial troubles this spring and needed to move away from its campus model, after abruptly closing its Brenner Family Early Learning Center (a preschool and daycare) and its gym, the Symons Family Fitness Center.

The federation bought the Grass Campus site in April 2022 for $4.56 million, bringing numerous Harrisburg Jewish organizations together to operate in one space. The site also provided a space for Jewish community programming.

Levine said that, as the federation moves forward “without walls,” the new board will work to continue existing community programs, like the federation’s annual film festival, and senior and youth activities.

While the federation will not have a physical location of its own moving forward, it plans to lean on the resources of synagogues it’s associated with in the Harrisburg area, Levine said.

Asking for input: Public shares opinions on how to revitalize downtown Harrisburg

June 18, 2026 | by Alexandra Jones

Participant Bruce Weber

Soliciting input from the public on ways to revitalize downtown Harrisburg, the PA Downtown Center held its first workshop this afternoon at John Harris High School.

Alongside city and state officials, the center has been leading an effort to revitalize the capital city’s struggling downtown. The center, retained by the Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC for the project, began the effort with a downtown perception survey distributed last winter.

Following the surveys from 4,000 responses, the center’s next step is engaging with the public directly through a series of workshops that will take place tonight through next week.

Around 20 attendees gathered for Thursday afternoon’s workshop, themed around quality of life in Harrisburg.

“This really is a defining moment,” said Julie Fitzpatrick, executive director of the Harrisburg-based center, introducing the workshop. “In the 21 years that I’ve been in this community, I feel like the stars have not aligned ever before, like they are aligning right now.”

Workshop attendees were broken into smaller groups to share with each other their perceptions of downtown’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Then, they nominated a group representative to summarize their conversation for the whole room.

For instance, one group said downtown Harrisburg’s main strengths include its historic architecture, small businesses and proximity to Riverfront Park.

“It’s like beachfront property, except it’s the Susquehanna River,” said one participant, Tom, with the YMCA.

Among weaknesses brought up were the prohibitively high cost of parking, public safety issues and a lack of grocery and pharmacy stores downtown.

Participant Bruce Weber noted that the city’s strengths and weaknesses sometimes overlap. For instance, the city’s historic properties could be a weakness because they require redevelopment, which can be costly and time consuming.

Fitzpatrick said that what determines whether something marks one or the other is how the issue is framed. She will host another workshop to gather more public input tonight from 6 to 8 p.m. at Harrisburg High School—John Harris Campus.

Next week, the center will host two “public spaces” workshops and two “economic vitality” workshops. They will be centered around gathering spaces downtown and how Harrisburg can better support businesses, respectively.

Ryan Unger, president and CEO of the Chamber & CREDC, told TheBurg that the revitalization team is hoping to see around 500 total public workshop participants based on the number of survey responses received. He added the team expects attendance during daytime workshops, like Thursday’s, to be more lightly attended than evening sessions.

Got an idea for public art or a pop-up in downtown Harrisburg? These new, state-funded grants could help

June 18, 2026 | by Alexandra Jones

Moving forward on a plan to revitalize downtown Harrisburg, local and state officials announced a new grant program Thursday designed to bolster public art and pop-up installations.

The “MyHBG Create Your Community” grant program will award between $500 and $2,500 to applicants for “mini” low‑cost community-driven projects that enhance downtown public spaces, improve safety or strengthen the neighborhood’s identity.

Ryan Unger, president and CEO of Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC, said at a press conference Thursday that these grants are designed to spur imaginative public spaces. Undertakings could be things like murals; artistic sidewalks, crosswalks or alleyways; public art installations; or pop-up plazas, parks or events.

Ryan Unger, president and CEO of Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC, spoke at the event.

“We’re excited to engage with the artistic community here in our city,” said Unger, noting grant applications will open on Monday.

He added that applicants are encouraged to come up with their own ideas for projects.

“We don’t have any kind of predisposed ideas of what we will see,” he said.

Eligible applicants include nonprofits, small businesses and community groups with nonprofit sponsors. Grants exceeding $2,500 may be awarded to applicants who demonstrate significant project impact and deliverability.

Once awarded, groups are expected to implement their short-scale projects within three months. Because many projects will be implemented in public spaces, Unger emphasized that the revitalization group will help applicants coordinate plans with the city of Harrisburg and PennDOT and that the application review committee will include city leaders and employees.

The public installations can last anywhere from a day to a year-and-a-half, according to Unger.

Edquina Washington, Harrisburg’s new economic development director, said that the program employs a concept called “tactical urbanism,” a city-building approach that uses short-term, low-cost projects to create momentum for long-term change.

Edquina Washinton, Harrisburg Economic Development Director

“The projects will provide a unique opportunity for all community members to take an active role in redesigning the visual tapestry of the city of Harrisburg,” Washington said. “We invite everyone to unite in creating your community, neighborhoods, community groups, organizations, businesses.”

Washington noted that project ideas throughout the city are welcome, although downtown projects “will strongly be encouraged.”

The city will engage in the efforts itself, she added, by working with King Prolifik (artist Bryan Hickman) on a painted electrical box at Pine and Front streets at Riverfront Park. The project was orchestrated by Harrisburg’s Mikell Simpson of Capital Rebirth. The city will also put in planters at Front and Forster streets in the coming weeks, she said.

State Sen. Patty Kim noted Thursday that, while the entire revitalization of downtown Harrisburg is expected to take between 10 and 20 years, these short-scale projects can make a difference today.

“We can customize our city the way we want to see it, to put our creativity in, and to really highlight our artists,” Kim said.

State Sen. Patty Kim

Kim gave an example. She said that Justin Browning, the owner of several businesses along downtown Harrisburg’s N. 2nd Street corridor, put a painting of a butterfly on a vacant building he owned and that, while it was a small thing, she’s seen it bring smiles to people posing with the artwork for social media.

“We’re going to try to amplify that,” Kim said.

The grants are funded through a partnership with the state Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED).

The “My HBG Create Your Community” grant program was created in partnership with Harrisburg, DCED, Kim, state representatives Dave Madsen and Nate Davidson, the Harrisburg Regional Chamber, the Pennsylvania Downtown Center and Visit Hershey Harrisburg.

Applicants can apply by visiting downtownHBG.com, where all information about downtown Harrisburg’s ongoing revitalization project has been consolidated.

Applicants must pay for projects up front and then will be reimbursed for the cost of the project.
