From Mayor Dave Clews - The spirit of the Holidays are alive and well in Pottsville. Each year, the City puts up thousands of lights to brighten our holiday season. City decorations include the beautiful city Christmas tree in Garfield Square, the transformation of Yuengling Park into a winter wonderland, the new holiday greeting sign that welcomes people to the Western entrance to Pottsville and the shooting stars that provide cheer and spirit to our downtown.
Unfortunately, our downtown lights on are over 20 years old and need to be replaced. That is why I am asking for your help.
The City of Pottsville is excited to announce a community wide fundraising project to facilitate the purchase and maintenance of holiday lights in our City.
How can you help?
Please consider making a donation to help make this fund drive a success. We are confident that this project will add to the positive growth and revitalization that is taking place in our City. If you would like to help, contact the Mayor (570) 622-1234 or via email at mayor@pottsvillepa.gov.

(July 23, 2020) - The City of Pottsville is pleased to announce that all Federal and State funding is now in place to begin the repairs to the Progress Avenue culvert damaged by unprecedented flooding in August 2018. City officials and administration are working closely with project Engineers to secure the required state permits and property easements that must be executed with adjoining property owners. Concurrently, Alfred E. Benesch & Company, City Engineer, is completing the details of the bid package.
The joint cooperation of FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and PEMA (Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency) has made it possible for the City to advertise and solicit bids for the project in August 2020. Ideally, the bid contract will be awarded in September, provided all necessary safety measures are in place prior to and during the construction phase.
