President Donald Trump's visit to Harrisburg this week will be a more intimate affair than his two previous visits to the area when he held large rallies.

Local Republican leaders say the White House is planning a smaller, town hall type of event in front of 500 to 1,000 people at a location near the Harrisburg International Airport, which is where Air Force One would land.

Before Trump addresses the crowd about his new tax reform plan, Fox News host Sean Hannity plans to record an interview with the president about tax reform, immigration and other "top news headlines," according to a statement Fox News.

Hannity will meet the president for his exclusive interview at the Harrisburg Air National Guard Base "prior to the primetime presentation and before President Trump's speech in Harrisburg later that evening," the Fox News statement said, noting that the Hannity interview was rescheduled.

Hannity had originally intended to interview Trump last Wednesday, but it was postponed.

The Hill news website said Trump also was supposed take questions from the audience during Hannity's original interview, but the new statement from the network didn't mention audience questions.

The exact time and location of Trump's visit have not been revealed but several sources told PennLive they were told the president would speak in the late afternoon Wednesday or early evening. They noted the time and location were still subject to change at any time.

But one thing appears firm: the event is invitation-only, with tickets being distributed through the county Republican committees, local business chambers and other organizations.

Local Republican leaders on Monday compiled lists of donors and volunteers who would get tickets. The exact number of seats available had not been determined, York County Chairman Alex Shorb.

"The number of tickets will be based on the ultimate venue, the fire marshal and Secret Service and all the logistics that go into that," Shorb said.

Dauphin County Republican Chairman David Feidt said there is not a link posted on the president's website like previous visits to sign up for tickets.

"I think it's more of an intimate event," Feidt said. "The ticketing is being done in a more structured format."

Cumberland County Chairman and state Rep. Greg Rothman said he was allowed 20 tickets for guests from his county. He said local chambers and business owners also got invitations.

The visit by Trump marks the third to the area since Trump took office. His last visit in April occurred in Harrisburg city proper at the Farm Show Complex. He also visited the Giant Center in Hershey.

The repeated visits to the area make sense, Rothman said, because of Central Pennsylvania's potential as an economic driver with its key location for distribution. That's why e-commerce is booming and warehouses and logistical centers are located here, he said.

"It's why the Navy's here and why the Army's here," he said. "It's a good place to talk about tax reform."

And the national spotlight on Harrisburg again is good for the region, said David Black, president of the area's business chamber.

"It's a neat thing to have a president visit, because it gets us on the map," Black said. "He must like it here because he keeps coming back. It lets people know there's more to Pennsylvania than Pittsburgh and Philadelphia."
