BTA Team |

As COVID-19 continues to spread across the United States, Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf has recommended that nonessential businesses close for at least 2 weeks to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Even though there are no confirmed cases in Franklin County, we at The Barrows Sollenberger Group, P.C. are taking measures to slow the potential spread of the virus.

Effective at 5:00 PM on Tuesday 3/17/2020, our Chambersburg office located at 239 Lincoln Way East will close to the public until further notice.

As of 3/17/2020, the Tax Deadline of April 15th has NOT been changed. We will continue to work diligently on your tax returns and will be in contact with you to make arrangements for delivery. We will continue to answer telephone calls during our regular office hours (M-F; 8:30 AM-5:00 PM).

If you park out front, you can go through the black gate to the left of the building and follow the sidewalk to our side porch. Parking is available at the back of our building that leads to the ramp. Once you have dropped off your information, please call us at 717 267 3572 to let us know and we will pick it up promptly (during regular office hours). We do not recommend that you use the drop box during NON-business hours, since it is not secure.
