10/17/25 – MARKET SQUARE PARK PROJECT UPDATE

No photo description available.

While it may look like the project stalled, work has been going on behind the scenes to correct structural deficits with the Gazebo. During renovations, it was discovered that the Gazebo was knocked out of plumb by a wind storm (probably over 10 years ago) when a strong gust traveled down Union St. from East to West. After this discovery was made, the Borough contracted a structural engineer to evaluate and correct the issue. The company performed 3D modeling and came up with a plan to correct the structural deficits.
On Wednesday, the engineer and general contractor used a winch system to straighten the gazebo and install steel plates to stabilize the structure. The winch lines will remain in place while additional plates are fabricated. Once corrected, work will resume on the walkways, gazebo, and landscaping; none of which could proceed until the gazebo was repaired. The electrical engineer has already run lines and the new meter boxes are installed and ready to go. The project is scheduled to conclude the week of Thanksgiving and while the grassy area may not be ready for foot traffic, we plan on having the walkways and gazebo open for Santa.
We know it looks a bit unsightly, but the finished project is going to be amazing. We would like to thank everyone for their patience and support while we work through these unexpected issues.

9/29/25 – MARKET STREET TO RECEIVE 24 NEW ADA RAMPS

You may have seen paint markings on some of the Market Street sidewalks. The Borough, in conjunction with PennDOT, will be installing 24 new ADA ramps along Market Street during the coming SR 147 resurfacing project. The project brings much needed accessibility to our Business District (yes, we know the rest of the town needs ramps too).
Millersburg Borough was awarded a $96,000 Dauphin County Gaming Grant in the 2023-2024 grant cycle to fund this project. The Borough remains committed to increasing accessibility throughout town and this project is a HUGE first step towards that goal.

8/14/25 – WEST NILE VIRUS DETECTED AT MYO PARK – MYO BATHROOMS CLOSED BEGINNING THURSDAY EVENING

Weather permitting; the Dauphin County Mosquito-Borne Disease Control Program staff will apply treatments the evening of Monday August 18th, in portions of Millersburg Borough. Due to unforeseen circumstances or weather-related cancellation of the spray, a make-up spray will be scheduled.
Samples taken by the Dauphin County Mosquito-Borne Disease Control Program in the area have shown high adult mosquito populations that can carry the West Nile Virus.
Monday’s treatments will be administered using truck-mounted equipment to spray areas of Millersburg Borough in the vicinity of MYO Park and the Sewage Treatment Plant. Any residents that have any questions concerning the spray event should contact the Dauphin County Mosquito-Borne Disease Control Program Coordinator at 717-921-8100 by 4:00 pm Monday August 18th.
The Dauphin County Conservation Districts spray equipment dispenses Biomist 3 + 15 at a rate of 0.75 ounces per acre. The active ingredient for this product is Permethrin. The pesticide application license number for this applicator is BU6665.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, all residents in areas where virus activity has been identified are at risk of getting West Nile encephalitis.
Certain mosquito species carry the West Nile virus, which, when transmitted to people, can cause West Nile encephalitis, an infection that can result in an inflammation of the brain.
