Continued progress toward a veterans memorial park in Reynoldsville

The Reynoldsville Veterans Memorial Park Committee took another step forward at its regular meeting on September 4.

The committee approved a bid to clear the trees from the property along Main Street in the borough.

The actual demolition of the two buildings has been slowed due to the lack of availability of dumpsters to haul the material away. The Borough of Reynoldsville offered free dumpsters from its allotment of free containers from Advanced Disposal, but they have already been used.

The committee is looking into the possibility of working out a deal with Advanced Disposal or waiting until 2020 and request the borough reserve the dumpsters for the demolition.
