Huntington Township's Board of Supervisors made a significant decision during their May 8, 2025, meeting, approving the termination of zoning officer Gus Greenwald and establishing a new framework for zoning and building permit responsibilities. The board ratified Greenwald's separation from the township, acknowledging his years of service to the community.

With Greenwald's departure, the board faced the immediate challenge of filling the zoning officer and building permit officer roles. After discussions with neighboring municipalities and the planning commission, the board decided to partner with the Middle Department Inspection Agency (MDIA), a third-party company based in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania, to handle building inspections and code enforcement.

Scott, a member of the planning commission, has agreed to take on the role of zoning officer, ensuring compliance with local zoning ordinances, including setbacks and stormwater management. Meanwhile, MDIA will manage the building permit process and inspections, streamlining operations for the township.

This transition aims to maintain effective oversight of zoning and building regulations while leveraging the expertise of MDIA, which currently serves multiple municipalities in the area. The board's decision reflects a proactive approach to governance, ensuring that Huntington Township continues to meet the needs of its residents efficiently. As the township moves forward, the collaboration with MDIA is expected to enhance service delivery and regulatory compliance in the community.
