Ordinance No. 7-2024 Re: revision to HCEDC duties & membership  Gary Gulla reported the last time we updated the HCEDC ordinance was in 2006. With this revision, the focus is more on the community aspect and making the community attractive sO that workers will come, and the companies will see that we. have the human capital to locate here. We want to focus on some ofthe things that Penn-Northwest is working on, the population growth and helping our small businesses more with initiatives. We are. heading in the right direction. This commission has been tremendously instrumental in moving sO many initiatives forward, including the building in which this meeting is being held today (Training & Workforce building), this park, and the eCenter. Other revisions include increasing the membership from 71 members to 11, as well as additional responsibilities to the board and  adding new language to the term.    Hermitage-Wheatand Merger Transition  Mark Longietti updated the merger transition is going well. Pat Lewis, who was the council president for the Borough of Wheatland, came to the City's last meeting oft the Board of Commissioners and made comments about the merger and how well the transition has gone. When in Harrisburg last April, Mark met with the Lieutenant Governor, Austin Davis, and talked about the merger and he indicated a desire to come visit to celebrate the merger after it became effective. We want to extend an invitation to all the HCEDC members to participate in that event. Iti is tentatively scheduled for April 24, and there's going tol be ai reception at approximately 1:30 pm. The gathering will be in the office lobby area ofthe Wheatland Tube building on 1 Council Avenue. It will be a great opportunity for him to meet with Hermitage officials and former Wheatland officials. We are also going to invite the County Commissioners and legislators to participate to celebrate the merger. This will be an opportunity for him to offer Mark also met with Lindy Paving they want to completely rebuild the plant they are in. Itis Boise Cascade is another business in Wheatland. Conversations with Paul O'Brien, who leases the space revealed they' re looking into ai rail spur project. We want to assist them with a possible state grant opportunity. They have 11 employees, ifthey can get the rail spur project, they would immediately increase to 20 employees and they would be converted from a satellite location to a stand-alone location which they project in the next 5 years they would be up to 30- 35 employees. These are examples of potential projects that the Borough of Wheatland wasn't Neil Hosick, our Buildings and Grounds Director has already done some work on what was the former Wheatland borough building that will now be named the Wheatland Community Center, Lastly, we are looking at the sewage collection system. Currently, the wastewater gets gravity sent to the Wheatland pump station and that pump station is at the end ofits useful life. So, to rebuild that pump station would be ai million and a half dollars. Our engineers indicated it would bei much more efficient instead ofrebuilding that pump station, to demolish it and then run sewer. lines to what's called the SVIDC pump station, and it eventually makes its way to Hermitage Municipal Authority. Instead of1.5 million it would be about $800,000. Itis a long process to do this, but we did put in a submission to both the U.S. Senator offices. There wasa a zoom call that we thought was very positive with Senator Fettermans office, at the end ofit, they said this would be one oft their top priorities, they communicated that it was a well thought project. That feedback doesn'tmean that it's going to get selected, but we think we're on the Rex Knisley asked ift there was a onetime discussion about improving Broadway Avenue within its own right and would anything happen to do with the water lines? Mark responded on the city side wel have a green light go application in for the Broadway Avenue, Council Avenue  comments to us and for us to offer some comments back. projected to be a 10-10-12-mlion-dollar project.  equipped to assist whereas the City ofHermitage can.  sO we are making improvements.  right path for the opportunity.    intersection. It would be a complete rebuild ofthe traffic equipment, it would not be ai rebuild of Gary Gulla mentioned Mark has been incredibly instrumental in transitioning this Wheatland merger. When the merger was official in. January, all the Wheatland ordinances and laws no longer existed. There were no ordinances for stop signs or speeding limits, SO wel had to work with our planning department to create zoning. There'sa another amendment coming up because ofa a sign setback. It was imperative to have everything in place. Mark commented that it has been a great team effort and everyone at the City ofHermitage has done their part in making  the intersection oft the road.  this successful.  Recreation & Community Events - Earth Day 2024  Kristina Thomas, Assistant Director of Planning, gave an update on the upcoming Earth Day event. Our second annual Earth Day Festival will be on held Saturday, April 20th at LindenPointe. Last year's first festival was a very well-received success. We've teamed up with Shenango River Watchers to do our Earth Day clean up at 9 am and will be meeting at 10 Council Avenue in Wheatland, which is the former. Joshen Paper plant, and cleaning upi in that area and along the railroad - there will be coffee provided.

Tamarack Wildlife Center will be doing some showings with birds of prey, and they are also going to be doing an afternoon bird walk along the Lindenpointe trail.

HopeCAT and Mercer County Conservation District are also going to be doing hands on activities. There will be live music, food, and vendors.

Hermitage Small Biz Initiative - Tuesday, April 9th, Vey's Pub & Grille  Mark Longietti updated Hermitage Small Biz group has formed and had their first meeting on 1/23/24, there were about 45 attendees, including some: from the city. The next meeting is coming up on April gth at 6:00pm at Vey's Pub & Grille. Ifr members are interested in attending let Mark know to RSVP. They have al hop shop event coming up April 12th & 13th. Boutiques that are in Hermitage are participating as well as Webb Winery and some others. Last year, American Roller Sports had their speed skating competition at Olympic Fun Center. We look forward to that event returning this year. June 10th through June 14th, as that brings a lot of people to Hermitage. The Hermitage Small Biz group is looking into possibly doing something then to promote their businesses, as well as on Small Business Saturday, which is on  November 30th.    They are also interested in trying to do something with the mall before it completely closes, possibly an event for the last chance for people to be in the mall. Mitch Reading mentioned that al lot of! people in the valley have history and memories ofthe mall, and we could possibly do something after the demolition with the bricks. Gary Hinkson responded it depends on timing as we aren't sure when the mall will be fully vacated and when the demolition will take place. After speaking with the Hermitage Small Biz group, they are interested in doing something that would promote their businesses and celebrate one. last walk through oft the mall. The city is not running the group or directly involved in their mission, but we strongly support them. We can promote their events through our social media and provide some financial support for different things that they may want to use to promote events that they're doing. They are aggressively trying to identify small events that they can work together to promote each other and the Hermitage business community as a group. They' vel had a good turnout, a lot of excitement and the fact that they'r re driving themselves means al lot and we can go along for the ride and be Mark Longietti updated that a façade improvement grant program opened, and we went in collaboratively with the city of Sharon and obtained a state grant, 50/50. Ifal business wanted to do $10,000 for work, they could potentially get $5,000 from the grant. For exterior purposes only. The deadline for the first round is April 30th. You can't use iti for certain things like sidewalks, paving or landscaping. But, just about anything else exterior you can use it for.  supportive.  Discussion on /Housing Inventory and Community Needs Proposed Business 2 Zoning Text Amendment  Gary Gulla led the discussion that at our last meeting we. had talked about the housing challenges not only as a city, but regionally and nationally. The idea came forward tol look at the zoning here at LindenPointe - It is part ofthe B2 zone, which is all Lindenpointe and a land across 18 going west and south. The idea was to include multi-family units in B2 zoning as permitted use. We had a discussion with our city's partner, Fred George, who helped us kick-off Lindenpointe and he was open to the idea ofhaving multi-family housing as permitted use here. This is the first step that's gone forward to the board. It's been introduced and will go to the planning commission. Ifit does go: forward through the planning commission, then we'll go to the Board of Commissioners and through the municipal planning code process for adoption. So far, there's not been a lot of publicity, but generally it's been accepted as an opportunity. The thought there was between Mr. George and the city, we own the land here in the park that's not Geroge Kraynak asked where is the actual land? We will email a map to members. It's all Lindenpointe and the land on the other side ofroute 18, going west and south, the old Hanson Anthony Pagliaroli asked for clarification on multi-family. Kristina responded apartments, complexes, condos, and townhouses as examples. Anything other than a traditional single-  developed. The planning commission meeting is the first Monday in May.  Farm property.  family house on a lot.    Homebuyer Assistance Program - Committee Appointment  Bill Moder led the discussion that Mercer County tends to get an older population. The state of Pennsylvania has a median age of4 40 years old. The City ofHermitage median age: for residents is5 50 years old. Wer need to implement ways to attract younger people. Since the pandemic, what used tol be commuting to your job, are now: more people working remotely from home offices. If we. have a community where there's! housing opportunities for young workers, a city that can offer good safety forces, police and fire, good streets and a good educational system that will be attractive. We've been very successful in attracting people who are in second homes, people who've maybe moved or are downsizing. But the first-time home buyer is the There are first-time home buyer programs in the state, but they usually focus on: income eligibility. We would like to promote purchasing ofhomes especially by first-time home buyers with the Hermitage Homebuyer Assistance Program (HHAP). There would be no income limit or] price purchase limit and $5,000 would be available to the applicant payable to the closing/settlement agent. One idea was toi internally allocate first time home sales and replenish that fund with the transfer tax from that sale that arguably wouldn't! have happened without the program. It would also give us a way to track the success rate. The program would have to be adopted formally by the Board of Commissioners. Having aj program like this will set Hermitage apart. We would like to implement a committee from HCEDC to start to vet the program, to modify, add or make any suggestions and then we can take it to the Board of Commissioners. We will put together a committee that could meet in ai relatively short period of time and possibly schedule a special HCEDC meeting before the next one. Robert Cucitrone, Mitch Reading, Anthony Pagliaroli, and Bill Moder volunteered to be on this committee. *Nick Pochiba agreed to be on this committee post meeting. Rex Knisely asked about the amount of $5,000. Could it be increased? Gary Hinkson responded the committee could look at that, but tol keep ini mind that there is currently not a budget for the  focus.  program.  Development Assistance Initiatives - Committee Appointment Gary Gulla led the discussion that there have been ideas about possibly a residential development revolving loan fund, similar to our business revolving loan fund. There is aneed for startup and carrying costs. We've talked about maybe finding a way for the municipality to help front end or participate in some oft the infrastructure. Gary Hinkson, Mark Longietti, Dan Bell and. Jessica Gotch had a meeting with realtors about a year ago that revealed there is ai need for more housing. The challenge currently is the market, inflation, interest rates and carrying costs. We want to get a committee together to start to think about ways get developers to come tol Hermitage. Gary Hinkson encourages the committee to think outside ofthe box. Iti is critical to the city as we are a wage tax, earned income tax driven city and have people who want tol live here. The realtors stated people want to live here but can't find housing. Developers and    builders also have challenges related tol high costs ofinfrastructure and inflationary costs on Rex Knisley, Debra Fitzsimons, Angela Palumbo volunteered tol be on this committee. *.
