Jeff Snyder
LOCK HAVEN Clinton County Commissioner Jeffrey Snyder got a surprise at Thursday’s county commissioners meeting.
The commissioners had secretly invited Lisa Schaefer, executive director of the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP), to the Zoom meeting to offer some pretty special congratulations to the three-term commissioner. It seems Gov. Tom Wolf and Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Dennis Davin announced that Snyder is a recipient of the 2021 Governor’s Awards for Local Government Excellence.
Snyder, who served as president of CCAP last year, was nominated by CCAP for the honor which is bestowed on communities, organizations and individuals for their dedication and commitment to strengthen their communities and better serve their residents.

LOCK HAVEN The Clinton County commissioners met for a few minutes on Tuesday morning to approve a new contractor to replace the Peale Avenue Bridge in Mill Hall.
On March 25, the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation notified the commissioners that the low bidder on the project was Glenn O. Hawbaker Jr. and the commissioners approved Hawbaker as the contractor to replace the bridge.
“Since then, the state Attorney General came out with charges against the low bidder and notified us last week that PennDOT will not allow any bids from contractors who have been charged. PennDOT told us to go with the second lowest bid,” said Commissioner Miles Kessinger.
