PUBLIC NOTICE NOTICE is hereby given that the Mount Pocono Borough Zoning Hearing Board will conduct a public hearing on Tuesday, July 23rd, 2024, beginning at 6:00 P.M. at the Mount Pocono Borough Municipal Building, 1361 Pocono Boulevard, Suite 100, Mount Pocono, PA 18344 to consider the request for a Variance from Zoning Ordinance Section 215-21 (C) 12 to allow a gift shop (retail or wholesale sales) to be operated in an attached accessory building (garage).

As a resident deeply rooted in the Pocono  community, I find the recent proposal to shut down the TLC Park basketball courts not only unfair, but detrimental to our town. This move comes in response to a singular, unfortunate incident of violence that happened last week. I believe punishing the entire community for the actions of one individual is a direct attack on the spirit of our community.

A huge WIN for OUR SCHOOLS!

Pocono Mountain School District will receive an additional $1.2 million through the BEF Fair Funding Formula (a 4.5% increase), and an additional $647,790 in Special Education Funding (a 8.4% increase), $2,281,225 in Adequacy Funding (a 6.5% increase), and $385,569 in Hold Harmless relief. Pocono Mountain will also receive about a $1 million cyber charter reimbursement, and $280,686 for school safety (mental and physical).

Totals just over $6 MILLION-- and that's just for POCONO MOUNTAIN!
