NorCo To Seek Grants For Minsi Lake

Super Ct Judge Jack Panella with 
Gerald E "Jerry" Seyfried
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.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
