Borough Manager, Jeremy Morey, gave a walk-through tour of the newly renovated Town Square as Jim Kallenborn from Pine Valley Nursery continued to work on the project.
The project consisted of removing 13 trees from the Town Square, including 9 Pin Oak and 4 Crab Apple. PV Paving put in the new sidewalks and bump outs for tables, benches and trash cans. They also poured new, wider steps to the entrance of the gazebo as well as provided ADA access to the gazebo and throughout the square. PV Paving also installed the new electric service to and throughout the square as well as a rehab of the flag pole. There is a new panel box with all new wiring and outlets around the perimeter of the square and in the gazebo.
The new electric service more than doubles to former capacity on the square; the old duplex outlets were replaced with quadplex outlets with additional receptacle boxes added to each side of the square. The interior of the gazebo now has 4 duplex outlets as well. The gazebo renovation was completed by Borough workers. The renovations included painting the interior and exterior face board and brackets, removal of the old railing and the installation of a PVC wrap on all the columns and new vinyl railings and posts. Also, there is exterior wall pack lights, a new flood light to illuminate the flag pole and an interior light in the peak of the gazebo.
The square is now completely ADA accessible with available handicapped parking and van access on Maple St. at the Commons. Pine Valley Landscaping was sub-contracted to remove the trees and complete the new landscaping around the gazebo and final restoration of the site. Pine Valley also planted 15 new trees to replace the trees that were removed at the recommendation of a Penn State Arborist. PV Paving is the General Contractor on the project and sub-contracted with Pine Valley. A Grand Opening of the Square is currently in the planning stages and should happen in late August.
