The biggest problem that faces the Borough of Lewisburg is the pressing need for a long term plan for sustainable and equitable development. The Borough has a restricted geographic area, limited space for development, and the ever present threat of living in a flood zone. We need leadership which can work with our neighbors and partners, listen to and address community and commercial needs, plan for a housing environment which maintains and fosters our community, and prepare for future environmental changes. Lewisburg is an amazing community with many human resources and with the proper leadership we can prepare for the issues on the horizon. This means understanding and preparing for a future before it happens, not simply reacting.
