A Great Place to Live, Work and Play

The Borough of Orwigsburg is small town America. One of our major strengths as a community is our small-town charm in a fast-paced environment. With only 3106 residents, many families have known each other for generations. The local economy is strong, and local crime is low. Infrastructure is maintained and operational with a proximity of a roads network to PA Route 61, Interstate 78 and Interstate 81. 

Orwigsburg is a great Pennsylvania community. It has a strong and dedicated work force, the residents are caring and supportive of each other, and it seems that even Father Time moves at a more relaxed pace.

Borough Council has awarded a contract for the replacement of storm-water facilities in the Ridge Road area. This announcement is to inform residents that your home may be adjacent to the project area and that access may be affected.

Not all streets will be closed every day; only those that work is ongoing.

The contractor and the Borough will make all attempts to limit the portion of road closed at any given time and to facilitate access to your property during construction. However, during certain portions of the project access to driveways and/or garages may not be possible. In this case, we ask that you be patient, park in a safe location, and walk to your home.

The work is expected to progress in stages, from Ridge Road, to Marshall Drive, to Eisenhower and Halsey. The Borough realizes that this will be an inconvenience for the residents; however, the finished storm-water project will help to remove the high water in the area, in all but the most severe storms.

Thank you In advance. 09/11/2020
