What Is It?

The Cumberland County Demolition Fund is available to private, public, and non-profit entities to demolish blighted properties throughout Cumberland County. Applicants may request 75% of their total project cost, up to $50,000.00.

Grant awards over $25,000 will be subject to Pennsylvania Prevailing Wage Rates. Any previously completed demolition work will not qualify for this program. Please do not begin demolition until told to do so by the program manager.

Eligible activities include (but are not limited to):

  • Proper removal of hazardous materials
  • Disconnection of utilities
  • Obtaining proper demolition permits
  • Razing of structures
  • Proper disposal of demolition waste
