State Grants Will Address Infrastructure and Construct Playground The Hermitage Municipal Authority received state grants totaling $1.4 million for the S. Neshannock Road Sewer Extension Project. The project will extend sanitary sewer service along portions of S. Neshannock, Virginia and Miller Roads connecting 93 homes and businesses to the system. It will also facilitate residential development on vacant parcels along the corridor. The project is expected to begin later this year. A $177,327 state grant will help construct a new playground, rubber surface and benches at the Rodney White Olympic Park adjacent to the Hermitage Municipal Building. The existing playground is over 25 years old and needs replaced. The project should be completed later this year. Senator Michele Brooks and Representative Parke Wentling were instrumental in securing both sets of grants.

Hermitage Fire Department Unveils Innovative Community Connection Initiative: Hermitage Community Connect The Hermitage Fire Department is proud to announce the official launch of Hermitage Community Connect, a dynamic initiative aimed at fostering stronger connections and improving emergency response within the community. This innovative project introduces a new website seamlessly integrated with our incident response and documentation software. The primary goal is to enhance communication between the Hermitage Fire Department, residents, and local business owners. Residents are now empowered to provide essential information in advance, including details about disabilities, and the presence of children, or pets in their homes. This proactive approach ensures that emergency responders have critical details at their fingertips, enabling a more efficient and tailored response. Business owners in Hermitage are also encouraged to register their establishments on the platform. By doing so, they can share vital information that could prove invaluable in the event of an emergency response. Security and confidentiality are paramount. Residents can trust that the information they provide will be handled with the utmost care, contributing to a safer and more informed community. Ready to get involved? Register today by visiting: https://www.communityconnect.io/info/pa-hermitage The Hermitage Fire Department is enthusiastic about the positive impact Hermitage Community Connect will have on community safety and emergency response capabilities. |

City of Hermitage Athletic Complex: A Recreational Oasis for All
Introducing this month's hidden gem, the City of Hermitage Athletic Complex! This recreational haven is meticulously crafted to offer residents a diverse range of sports and leisure activities, featuring sports fields, trails, parking areas, and more to meet the community's recreational desires. In a significant stride towards improvement, the Board of Commissioners greenlit a new master site plan in the summer of 2023. This visionary plan encompasses the addition of more trailheads, connecting existing trails, and introducing new recreational spaces. Thanks to a generous state grant received last year, the complex saw the successful construction of a state-of-the-art dek hockey rink. This noteworthy project is community-driven, dedicated to elevating our recreational complex and fostering increased physical activity opportunities for both youth and adults. For the most up-to-date and accurate information on the City of Hermitage Athletic Complex, including its current facilities, ongoing projects, and recent developments, visit www.hermitage.net |
