📰 News we're reading

• Lower river level needed to start $650K project to repair embankment in Wilkes-Barre (citizensvoice.com) — A $650,150 project to repair sloughing along the Susquehanna River embankment in Wilkes-Barre will begin once river levels drop to five feet, helping safeguard the levee system. That same 16‑mile system protects thousands of properties in Swoyersville and neighboring river towns, so the timing and funding of this work directly affect local flood security.
