Today's riddle: What did one wall say to the other? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Kingston Borough Council will not consider zoning amendement (timesleader.com) — Kingston Borough Council has decided not to amend its zoning ordinance to add specific rules for community gardens, leaving such projects to seek special exceptions from the zoning hearing board. The decision directly affects resident Jayanne Czerniakowski's Frederick Street community garden and any future gardens in Kingston, despite her push for clear, boroughwide standards.
• State grants for infrastructure, equipment upgrades released (citizensvoice.com) — Kingston is set to receive a $500,000 state Local Share Account grant to renovate its public works facility, part of a broader round of infrastructure and equipment funding across Luzerne County. Local lawmakers say the gaming-revenue-funded grants will improve roads, emergency services, and public facilities in many nearby communities, but the public works upgrade will be especially visible to Kingston residents.
• Luzerne County Council voting on railroad sale, anti-discrimination ordinance (citizensvoice.com) — Luzerne County Council will vote Tuesday on selling a 60-mile rail line and on whether to reconsider the county's anti-discrimination ordinance, decisions that could shape regional development and civil-rights enforcement. For Kingston residents, the outcome also affects plans for the West Side Rail Trail, envisioned to cross the Susquehanna River into town as part of future trail easements.
