Economic Development Authority
The Economic Development Authority was incorporated on April 14, 2008. It envisioned and coordinated projects to enhance Annville’s viability. Building on a successful streetscape renovation, several years ago the Authority completed a downtown revitalization project which provided additional free parking and attracted new businesses to renovated structures. Upon achieving its original goal, the EDA was dissolved in 2019 and transferred its assets to the Township.
