LEGAL NOTICE Notice to the Public: Reauthorization of the Downtown State College Improvement District The State College Borough Council conducted public hearings at 7:00pm on Monday, May 11th and June 1st, 2026, to receive input from the community regarding the reauthorization of the Downtown State College Improvement District (DSCID) beyond its Dec. 31, 2026 sunset date. Established in 2002, the DSCID was renewed in 2007, again in 2021, and is now once again at the point of renewal, seeking a 10-year term. The reauthorization process marks a unique opportunity to evaluate the organization's efficacy, impact, and priorities.

The Plan establishes a renewed path forward in service of the Downtown core's near- and- long-term vitality and its role as both an inclusive and vibrant urban neighborhood as well as a cultural and economic engine for the community. Per state law, a 45-day period following the June 1st public hearing will run through July 16th .
