>Harrisburg Mayor, City Council Reach Agreement On Administration Positions
(Harrisburg, PA) -- The Harrisburg City Council and Mayor Wanda Williams reached an agreement to fund three administrative positions in her office. The Council voted unanimously yesterday to fund the positions of business administrator and project director of business development along with a new role called the director of economic development. The mayor has reportedly agreed to no longer appoint interim department heads, which the council claimed was an attempt to go around the city's 120-day limit on acting leaders. The deal comes a week after a Dauphin County Judge dismissed Williams' lawsuit attempting to compel the council to fund the positions, which had been cut from the 2026 budget.
