• Northampton County to close 2 senior centers amid funding cuts. Members aren't ready to give up the fight (mcall.com) — Northampton County will close the Northampton Borough and Lower Nazareth senior centers on June 30, shifting Northampton attendees to the Cherryville Senior Center in Lehigh Township. Local seniors worry about losing a walkable, social lifeline and facing longer trips to Cherryville, especially in bad weather, while county officials blame steep funding cuts and urge residents to speak out and support remaining centers.
