Tarentum Borough does not have a defined Community Development department. All community and economic development projects are processed through the Borough Manager’s office. For that reason, the information posted on this page is a general listing of development projects occurring within the Borough. For more information, please contact the Borough Manager.
Current Projects:
Tarentum Borough continues to address dangerous and deteriorated structures through its ongoing multi-year demolition project. The program focuses on properties that present significant public safety concerns, negatively affect surrounding property values, and cannot reasonably be returned to productive use.
The Borough works with Allegheny County and other community development partners to secure funding, complete required legal and environmental reviews, and safely remove qualifying structures. Each demolition helps eliminate a neighborhood hazard while creating opportunities for property reuse, redevelopment, and long-term community improvement.
Four additional demolitions are scheduled for 2026. Once those structures are removed, Tarentum will have completed 70 demolitions since 2019 as part of its continuing effort to improve public safety and strengthen Borough neighborhoods.
