Utility companies last March began to dig up Church Street for various utility projects including sanitary sewer, storm water, gas and underground electric and communication. Work will continue into October. Hess said the infrastructure work resolves storm water and sanitary sewer issues that have plagued the west side of the borough for years and has created havoc in the downtown area when there is a heavy rainfall in a short period of time. Public Works Director Jim Stewart said workers are now putting in the concrete underneath the new proposed brick sidewalks which will include granite curbing. Once they finish the lower end of Church Street, they will move work to in front of the Town Green and then the Maple Street Bridge that will have a new surface similar to the existing bricked crosswalks. The borough board initially approved in 2022 to select Kleinfelder Northeast, a national engineering firm, for the final design of storm water and sanitary sewer upgrades and streetscape designs for Church and Maple streets.
