The MVP serves local businesses

Steve Goodhue, Myerstown Vitality Partnership Chair, shares a story of how the MVP helped DoGood’s establish its business in Myerstown.

“Myerstown Borough helped DoGood’s obtain an economic development liquor license that saved them over $140,000,” said Goodhue. “This license must stay with the building, thus helping the Borough. I got a LERTA approved from the Lebanon County Commissioners for improvements to commercial buildings, which is currently in effect. This resulted in a considerable tax advantage for DoGood’s improvements to the building they now occupy.”

DoGood’s Tavern occupies a historic building in Myerstown. The owners transformed the building into a first-rate dining establishment, and with the help of the MVP, saved over a hundred thousand dollars between securing an economic development liquor license and a LERTA from Lebanon County.
