The Act 47 designation for financial distress for a community in Pennsylvania could be coming to an end soon in Aliquippa.

A hearing was held Thursday night regarding the Act 47 status, attended by Mayor Dwan B. Waller, City Manager Sam Gill, and City Solicitor Myron Sainovich among others in coordination with Act 47 coordinator Debbie Grass.

The city is sending their final report to the PA Department of Community and Economic Development for termination of the Act 47 status. A decision will be made by year’s end.
