Bipartisanship at Work: Mayor Shultz with Lt. Gov. Davis and County Commissioner Neiderer after he successfully advocated for $10.2 Million in Commonwealth PA SITES grant and and low-interest loan to clean up and redevelop the former Frog, Switch Manufacturing site.

​We secured $1.2 million in Transportation Infrastructure Investment Funds from the Commonwealth to complete the final leg of the Carlisle Connectivity Project—supporting the largest redevelopment in borough history. This includes:

​

  • Upgrades to North Hanover Street and Carlisle Springs Road

  • A new traffic signal and roundabout

  • Railway safety improvements

​

This project supports 338 new housing units, a 92-room hotel, retail and recreation spaces, and 845 new jobs, generating $101 million annually for our regional economy.​

Land Use Reform


We’ve modernized zoning to encourage smart growth, including:

​

  • Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) to increase housing options and allow residents to offset inflated housing costs through an additional source of income.

  • Shared parking and fee-in-lieu policies to make better use of space in Carlisle.

  • Support for artisan manufacturing and bike infrastructure.

 

And we're going to continue working to modernize our land use processes so they are more accessible to everyone.
