The Middletown Borough Council has requested next door Royalton Borough to contribute more money towards the shared Middletown Volunteer Fire Department.
MIDDLETOWN, Pa. — Leaders from Middletown and Royalton boroughs in Dauphin County met Monday night over a disagreement on the Middletown Volunteer Fire Company’s funding.
"I believe this is just one of those things that fell through the cracks," Reddinger said."We fell into a routine.” "With the rising costs of everything, the fire department is also seeing financial needs," Reddinger said. Under Royalton’s proposal, their share would increase incrementally over three years, starting from $13,225 in 2024, then $19,260 in 2025, and the requested $26,447 in 2026.The requested would be 387% of what Royalton is currently paying, and jump the annual cost to individual taxpayers from around $6 to more than $23.
