Because the Borough is actively considering parking-related issues, this is an important opportunity for businesses to offer practical suggestions and potential solutions directly to Borough officials.

Once this immediate discussion has passed, parking will move lower on the agenda—or off it entirely—so we can turn our attention to other topics affecting the downtown.

Other important topics for the meeting include:

downtown promotions & events
Merchants on Market FB group
flood insurance info session, 6/24, 5pm Borough Offices
Lewisburg Business Improvements grants - going fast!
Bucknell.edu/SBDCevents - EIGHT business workshops & webinars
design thinking program (below) - free opportunity for local orgs
& likely parking too, including this survey

Until then, enjoy the Juneteenth celebrations in Lewisburg!

Parking Survey is LIVE! Take the Survey

Did you take the survey?

Lewisburg Neighborhoods is planning for the future of public parking here in Lewisburg.

The longtime meters are no longer manufactured and we cannot get replacement parts. The borough needs to transition to something new soon…but what?

Please take this anonymous survey about parking in Lewisburg. The results will be shared with the Borough Council to communicate our priorities as the borough makes important decisions about the future of parking here.

Take the survey here: https://forms.gle/yCCRx7vcgkiQ5Vx78

Some people have asked why the survey includes questions about age, household income, and similar demographic information.

First, please know that those questions are completely optional.

The reason this information is being collected is to help ensure that responses are received from a broad and representative cross-section of the Lewisburg community.

For example, if the results show that a particular segment of Lewisburg’s population has not responded, additional outreach efforts can be made to better capture their input.

The goal is not to identify individuals, but to make sure all voices in our community have an opportunity to be heard.

Merchant LDP Website

We’ve recently updated the LewisburgPA.com website to make it easier for both visitors and businesses to find what they need.

One of the biggest changes you’ll notice is the addition of new Community Calendars and Sales & Specials sections. If they look a little empty right now—that’s intentional.

These sections are powered directly by the Locable network, meaning the content comes from participating businesses.

You might be wondering—why use Locable when you already have Facebook or other social media? The advantage is efficiency.

When connected, you can create events, promotions, or updates in Locable and push them directly to your social media, while also appearing on LewisburgPA.com and across the local network.

It’s a simple way to expand your reach without adding more work.

If you haven’t set up your free Locable account yet, now is a great time. Alex at LDP is happy to meet with you one-on-one to help create your webspace, post events, or set up specials.

Training is free, and the platform is free to use. Reach out anytime at [email protected] to schedule a time.
