I am happy to report that the Dunmore Business Association is going full steam ahead with the planning of our second annual “Christmas in The Corners” event! As a reminder, the event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, December 9, in “Dunmore Corners”. This event promises to be a magical evening filled with holiday joy and community spirit, and we believe that your involvement can make it even more memorable for the people (and, most importantly, the children) of Dunmore.

To make “Christmas in The Corners” another resounding success, we are seeking YOUR SUPPORT! Your generosity can help us cover the costs associated with decorations, entertainment, lighting, security, and free giveaways for the children of the Borough. The goal of our fundraising effort is to ensure that everything at this event is provided FOR FREE for the children of Dunmore.

We want to bring a little Holiday magic to the Borough, but we need your help!

If you would like to donate, checks can be made payable to “Dunmore Business Association” and mailed to 201 South Blakely Street, #102, Dunmore, PA 18512. You can also donate via Venmo or PayPal with the QR codes below! If you have any questions, please email DunmoreBusinessAssociation@gmail.com or call 570-362-5942. Thank you!

Mayor of Dunmore

It was a busy November in the Borough! Last month we officially launched the Dunmore Business Association (DBA) and I am proud to say that the response has been incredible. In just under a month since launching, the DBA is now up over 100 members!

Starting a non-profit business group was more work than we anticipated, and would not have been possible without a few key people. I would like to thank Attorney Marianne Stivala of Brian J. Cali & Associates and C.P.A. Al Karaffa of Kronick Kalada Berdy & Co. for all their assistance organizing this group. Both Marianne and Al donated their time and expertise ensuring the group was organized officially and properly.

I also want to thank Maggie Calpin of Nibbles and Bits for all her work getting the DBA off the ground. I am incredibly grateful that we have such dedicated members of our community willing to lend their expertise to make Dunmore a better place to live, work, and do business! If you would like to join the DBA, please email DunmoreBusinessAssociation@gmail.com.

I also want to wish everyone a very happy and safe Holiday season. I hope that you share this festive time with those you love and those most important to you! I look forward to seeing what 2023 brings to this wonderful Borough!

It was a busy October in the Borough! Our paving project was a massive success and I am happy to say that our roads are in much better shape than they were this time last year heading into the winter months.

Since taking office, I have been fortunate enough to talk with many of our business owners about the future of the Dunmore business landscape. We discussed the overall revitalization of Dunmore’s business community, how best to tap state money, upgrades to our streetscapes, and more.

We also met with representatives from the state, including the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) director. In his words, if our business community wants to leverage its access to state money to secure potential grants and outside funding, a great step would be to launch the Dunmore Business Association (DBA).

With the help of the association, DBA will be able to raise funds, grow local businesses, and beautify our community. If you are or know of any business owners that are not members, please feel free to email DunmoreBusinessAssociation@gmail.com. We are also on Facebook at “Dunmore Business Association” (this group is for business owners & affiliates only).

As you all know, Dunmore is already a great place to live, work, and do business. We are hoping that the DBA can make it even better!
