Depending on who you ask, anywhere between 12 and 37 people make Ohiopyle their year-round home – although that doesn’t mean that the borough isn’t booming.
A land swap between Ohiopyle Borough and the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) is now complete, said Rep. Matthew Dowling, R-Uniontown, who wrote the legislation authorizing the transfer.
Under Act 60 of 2020, the state was authorized to convey land it owned in the borough in exchange for Ohiopyle conveying some of its own land. The swap would allow additional water access for DCNR and the state park. It would provide developable property for Ohiopyle Borough, which could be a future revenue stream. The property conveyance would also allow the borough additional room to update an adjacent sewage treatment plant, should that become necessary.
