First Responder Commendation

On February 13, 2025, the Crafton Borough Mayor, Council and Community held a brief ceremony, in the Council Chambers, thanking our Volunteer Fire Department, Police Department, and other first responders for their dedication to our community and specifically for their bravery and perseverance in the face of the extreme conditions they faced fighting the recent residential fire on Elmwood in the early morning hours of January 20, 2025.

A message from the Planning Commission Chairman;

In the last Crafton Planning Commission meeting, we examined a presentation on zoning conformity. The topic surfaced in response to community member concerns about how to help a particular neighborhood in our community (Thomas Street). We examined a thorough presentation from staff on conformance and what options might exist. This was an educational session. And while there was no inclination from the Planning Commission members to pursue this further, we took no action as we wanted to hear public feedback.

Please join us at the next Planning Commission meeting, we welcome your thoughts and feedback, respectfully.

Eric Valcheff – Planning Commission Chairman
