Borough Council committee meetings
Who said the summers are a slow time for news? This week, Borough Council's various committees will undertake a number of issues, one of the most interesting being the possible future development of the Wyeth property, a 30-acre space located on East Union Street.
On Tuesday, council's Planning, Zoning, Business and Industrial Development (PZBID) committee will finally begin the discussion about the future of the site, according to the agenda for the meeting.
Meanwhile, council's Parks, Recreation and Environmental Protection committee will be busy tonight talking about ways to fund a feasibility study to determine if residents want a recreation center in the borough. The idea for a study came as a result of residents complaining at previous meetings that the borough will have no rec center, once the YMCA on East Chestnut Street closes and moves to East Goshen.
These are some of the stories that I plan to work on this week. Also, look for a story about the Market Street closure in Tuesday's edition of the DLN. Some motorists and business people are not happy, while others said the closure has had no impact on them so far.

I hope the Borough Council can find a way to finance the $15,000 to pay for the first phase of the feasibility study for the rec center. Without that minimum commitment this town's children will lose an important asset.
Thomas,
I don't know if you heard or not, but the council committee decided to have full council consider borrowing money from the capital improvement project funds to pay for the first part of the study. All of the council members will be discussing this more at their work session on Tuesday, June 28.
