The Armstrong County Commissioners are donating $15,000 of the $100,000-plus needed to pay to open five locks on the Allegheny River in Armstrong County for recreational boaters on summer weekends.
The Allegheny River Development Corp., a nonprofit group of boaters and river supporters, contracts with the U.S. Army Corps to open five locks in Armstrong County for recreational boating on weekends in the summer.
In the last decade, the Corps cut hours at Lock 5, Buffalo Township, and closed Locks 6 through 9, from South Buffalo to Madison Township, to recreational boats.
