COURTESY TO THE AUDIENCE

Jeffrey Walters, resident of Washington Street was present to question what was happening with the halfway house that is supposed to be moving into the old Wright’s building. He stated that he was very concerned because of all the children living in the area as well as the money that he has spent fixing up his house and if the halfway house comes into the area, his property value will go down.

Solicitor Gombar stated that there has been nothing submitted to the borough regarding any development in the Wrights area. The Council found out about it as everyone else did when there was an article in the newspaper. No plans have been received.
