  • I created an account for your website after reading my 2019 local income tax return because information with the return indicated that I could file electronically by logging on to "www.statecollegepa.us" to find further information, and "see what we have to offer you." FYI, I was unable to find any information that would allow me to file my 2019 local income taxes on your website so I have again filed them on paper as I have done in the past. I recommend that someone make access to this information more transparently available on you website.

    Thank you for taking the time to reach out. In the next month, we will be undergoing a website redesign. The goal of this redesign is to address the way that content is organized on the website. We hope through this process, we can alleviate some of the issues you presented in your question.

  • Hello, my name is Connor Donlon and I am a reporter for the Daily Collegian at Penn State University. As a result of new construction near at HERE downtown, there are limited parking spaces available. I was wondering how this will affect local businesses. Also, were any of the local businesses consulted? Thank you.
