Local Improvement District (LID)

Local Improvement Districts (LIDs) enable our Borough to fund key capital improvements, such as natural gas lines, by allowing costs to be shared among benefited property owners. Properties included in an LID may be contiguous (physically touching) or noncontiguous (not connected). Contiguous LID proposals need approval from owners representing over 54% of the district’s value and costs, while noncontiguous LIDs require full support from all benefiting property owners.

Both community members and the Borough Assembly can initiate LID proposals, making it possible to fund infrastructure upgrades through collaborative financial responsibility. By sharing the costs of improvements that add value, LIDs help enhance public services and infrastructure for our Borough.

For more information on LIDs, please view the Borough code here.
