From the Office of the Mayor: Brownsville Borough Residents and Visitors please be aware of some traffic changes starting today due to a partial building collapse.

Local traffic will still be able to access the downtown area using Brown Street gravel lot, Shady Avenue, Charles Street/ Bridge and Bank Street. The downtown square is still open for parking a...t this time. Please allow time for traffic delays and heavier then normal traffic on these roads due to these detours. Thank you! Mayor Ross H. Swords, Jr.

** ACTIVE INCIDENT ** Crews are operating on 5th Ave in the area of Baltimore St on a house fire. Utility lines next to the structure were affected from the bl...aze. Portions of Brownsville Borough and Brownsville Township may notice a disconnect of power, phone, and cable while the utility crews make their repairs. Phone, cable, and power companies are on site beginning repairs.

We would like to invite everyone to the Brownsville Prayer Gathering for First Responders. We've had this service several times over the past few years and it's... always a very moving and joyous experience. Up until now, one of the biggest challenges facing the first responder community was the opioid epidemic. While that is still an ever-present problem, none of us expected the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, while we join together in prayer for all, we will ask for special blessings for our brothers and sisters in EMS, who have borne the brunt of the pandemic. They, along with everyone who works in healthcare, have gone way beyond the call of duty. This year, we will also honor the everyday men and women who, in the course of their regular jobs, became first responders themselves, by providing the goods and services that we all needed to survive. This includes retail, grocery, delivery, manufacturing, and a whole host of others. So we ask that you consider joining us, praying with us, and gathering (following CDC guidelines) as a community to beseech our Lord to end this difficult time in our history. We hope to see you there!
