The Ledger is reviewing Millcreek's public financial records, starting with the fiscal 2025 audit, the 2025 redevelopment bonds for Millcreek Common, the new transportation utility fee and the fiscal 2027 budget. Every figure comes from a linked city record.
Millcreek's fiscal 2027 budget sets $22,061,000 in spending for East Common and Millcreek North, mostly drawn from the fund's existing balance, and $6,050,000 for Millcreek Common Phase II. In July the council rezoned a Highland Drive property facing the Common for condominiums, retail and a hotel, subject to a development agreement.
