Harrisburg asks court to intervene in dilapidated Governor’s Square housing complex

Harrisburg officials have asked the Dauphin County Court to intervene after nearly two years of court proceedings have left residents of a beleaguered affordable housing development in dilapidated conditions.

The city filed a petition Friday asking the court to appoint a receiver. In October, City officials indicated they wanted a receiver. to take control of the complex, which has been deteriorating since May 2023, when the owners filed for bankruptcy.
