NorCo To Seek Grants For Minsi Lake

At their March 21 meeting, Northampton County voted unanimously to seek grants from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) for Minsi Lake improvements.  

Parks Director Bryan Cope wants to replace or rehabilitate a boardwalk along some portions of the trails surrounding the lake. He said the boardwalk was initially built in the '70s by the youth corps. This is a $1 million project, and Cope is seeking $550,000 from the state. 

The state Game Commission has already committed to a complete makeover of the Gerald E Seyfried Bear Swamp Park and Archery Complex. In addition, it will add parking at the site and ADA accessible ramps. 

Cope told Council member Tom Giovanni that this is one of the first projects that the Game Commission hopes to get done and predicts it should at least be started by Fall.
