[Adopted 12-7-2011 by Ord. No. 2011-537 (Ch. 104, Art. I,
of the 1996 Code)]
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has adopted enabling legislation,
specifically the Neighborhood Improvement District Act, 73 P.S. § 831,
Act No. 2000-130, authorizing the creation of neighborhood improvement
districts to enable property owners in neighborhoods to make improvements
within the neighborhood or to provide services to their neighborhoods
that supplement municipal services otherwise provided. The legislation
provides for the assessment of property owners within the neighborhood
improvement district (NID) to pay for the improvements or additional
services. The Board of Supervisors may create an NID, by ordinance
pursuant to Act No. 2000-130, when the Board believes that such a
district is necessary and desirable to improve the quality of life
for residents and commercial occupants within an Improvement District.
