Quick Response Saves Life at Buhl Park
On the morning of March 19, 2025, the Hermitage Fire Department responded to a vehicle submerged in Lake Julia at Buhl Park, with reports of at least one person trapped inside. Three Hermitage Firefighters jumped into the 40 degree water, broke a window, and pulled the occupant from the submerged vehicle. Sharon Fire Department and Sharpsville Volunteer Fire Department were quickly dispatched to assist. In less than 10 minutes from the original call, Hermitage firefighters successfully rescued one individual and transferred care to McGonigle Ambulance Service. We commend the bravery and quick actions of all responding agencies in ensuring the victim’s safety.

Thinking of Relocating? Hermitage Might Be the Move.
Hermitage is proud to be part of an exciting new pilot program designed to attract new residents to Mercer County through MakeMyMove, an online relocation platform. Qualifying individuals who move to Hermitage may be eligible for a $5,000 cash incentive, along with other local perks. Applicants must currently live at least 70 miles away, and half of the incentive is paid after relocation, with the remainder awarded after a year of residency. This initiative, in partnership with Penn-Northwest Development Corporation, highlights the value of moving to Hermitage—not just for the cash, but for our outstanding quality of life. With affordable housing, low taxes, outdoor amenities like Buhl Park and Shenango River Lake, and easy access to healthcare and culture, Hermitage was recently named the #1 Best Place to Retire in the Northeast by Travel & Leisure. 🏡 Learn more about the move—and why it’s worth it:
