Mayor of Indiana Borough
William B. Simmons was elected Mayor on November 2, 2021 and took the oath of office on January 3, 2022.
Mayor Simmons has extensive public safety experience from his past involvements with Indiana Borough Council, the Indiana Fire Association and Citizens' Ambulance.

“There are difficult problems that can only be fixed with strong focus and commitment. It’s time to step up — we need a mayor with the courage, compassion and conviction to work hard for the betterment of Indiana. Having lived in Indiana all of my life, I see so much potential for our community’s future.”

Council of indiana borough
Indiana Borough Council meets on the first Tuesday (following the first Monday) of each month at 7PM. Council meetings are currently held in a temporary location (Indiana County Courthouse Annex Building, 827 Water Street). The Council is elected by district, and therefore must apportion the districts so that each contains approximately the same number of persons pursuant to the most recent United States Census. In May 2022, an Ad Hoc Committee was formed to study the structures of similar municipalities throughout the Commonwealth. Their research and formal recommendation was presented during the July 2022 Work Session meeting held at Borough Hall. Based on that recommendation, Indiana Borough was split into two wards, East and West, with four Councilpersons from each ward.
The current Ward Map can be accessed here.
