Brookville Council is taking a heightened interest in addressing blighted properties in the borough.
At last night’s meeting, code enforcement officer Don Jonischek said several properties throughout the borough are being inspected for safety violations and high grass. Council has formed a new ad hoc residential maintenance committee to address the issue throughout the borough and recommend further action. The area of East Main Street will be one of the first sections targeted.
The borough announced its receipt of a state grant of nearly $15,000 for improvements to the Walter Dick Park. The grant will fund a serenity area, a handicap access ramp to the park’s swinging bridge over North Fork Creek and establishment of a buffer zone to lessen traffic noise off I-80.
