Gov. Shapiro's Abington Home Gets $1M In Security Upgrades

ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — Gov. Josh Shapiro's private residence is receiving $1 million in security upgrades following an October 2025 attack at the Governor's Mansion in Harrisburg.

The Office of Attorney General said that a settlement was reached regarding the payment of outstanding bills tied to the security enhancement work at Shapiro's private residence.

"Our decision on this settlement agreement is not an assessment of the need for the security upgrades or the wisdom behind them, and it did not impede the upgrades being made — the work was performed some time ago," said a statement about the settlement. "Rather, a settlement agreement focuses on the settlement of a past due contract between a contractor, who performed the work for the agency in good faith, and the Commonwealth."

Attorney General Dave Sunday and the Office of Attorney General condemn all acts of political violence and believe that it is critical that Pennsylvania’s laws be updated to ensure the safety of all public officials serving today and in the future.

Sunday said the decision does not set a precedent for future settlement agreements of this nature.

The Office of Attorney General stressed the need to update the Commonwealth’s laws to meet today’s threats against public officials.

The Office of Attorney General said the settlement to pay the contractor shields the Commonwealth from further litigation which would have likely increased the cost that would be borne by the taxpayers for this contract.
