Canonsburg Council Approves Grant, Amusement Tax

The Canonsburg Borough Council voted unanimously to submit a grant application for the McBurney Road Flood Mitigation Project. Councilman Rich Russo says the grant is between $170,000 and $180,000. If the grant is awarded, Russo says the Borough would work with Chartiers Township to replace old pipes and drainage. In other business, there was a unanimous vote to add a 5% amusement ticket sales tax. Council President Eric Chandler says this is a small tax, but it would help generate additional revenue in Canonsburg. Chandler says the tax will be added to ticket sales at places like the Canon Theatre, but it will not go into effect until 2027.
