PA Flood Insurance Roundtable Lewisburg Agenda 1

 

Lewisburg Borough Council is looking for a new Junior Borough Council member

Hello LASD Rising Juniors,

Lewisburg Borough Council is looking for a new Junior Borough Council member.

The Lewisburg Borough Council is composed of eight elected officials who live in the Lewisburg Borough. Two Borough Council members are elected from each of our four Wards and a Mayor is elected at large from within the Borough.  Borough Council is tasked with making governance, budgeting, and planning decisions for the Borough.

Currently, there are two high school students (one Junior and one Senior) who sit on the Borough Council as “Junior Council Members.” These two students are tasked with staying up to date on Borough news, representing youth perspectives, and contributing to the monthly Borough meeting and Borough Council work session.

With one of these students graduating in May, Borough Council is looking for a student from the LAHS Class of 2028 to fill this opening.  It is preferred that the student lives within Lewisburg Borough.  However, Borough Council is willing to consider Lewisburg Area School District students who live in the surrounding Townships.

If you have any questions, please contact the Borough Office at 570-523-3614 or office@lewisburgborough.org.  If you are interested in applying for this position, please send a resume and a letter of interest (explaining why you are interested in this position) to Lewisburg Borough Manager William Lowthert (wlowthert@lewisburgborough.org) as soon as possible.

Borough Council plans to discuss interested candidates at their June Borough Council Meeting on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.

Concept Plans for North Fourth Street Neighborhood Revitalization Project

On Tuesday, April 14, 2026, Lewisburg Borough Council will hold their regular monthly Work Session.  At this Work Session, Borough Council will receive an update from the project engineer on the revised concept plans for the North Fourth Street Neighborhood Revitalization Project.  The engineer will also update Borough Council with the feedback received from the two public meetings held in relation to this project.  The Work Session will be Borough Council’s opportunity as the elected body of Lewisburg Borough to discuss the project in a public venue with the engineers.  The North Fourth Street Neighborhood Revitalization Project plans include the installation of green infrastructure as a safety and stormwater element of a larger construction project.  The Work Session will take place in the Borough Council Chambers located at 55 South Fifth Street at 6:30 pm.  The public is invited to attend the Work Session to listen to the discussion between Borough Council and the engineers.  These planning efforts are being funded in part by the United States Environmental Protection Agency under assistance agreement 4I-95325001-1 to the Chesapeake Bay Trust.
