LOCK HAVEN The state liquor store in downtown Lock Haven is moving.
The Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board on Wednesday voted unanimously to move the Fine Wine and Good Spirits Store at 137 E. Main St. to Clinton Plaza, Clinton County Economic Partnership Executive Director Michael Flanagan confirmed.
Flanagan said he listened to the PLCB meeting via a telephone conference call and the vote to move the store was unanimous with all three board members chairman Tim Holden, Mike Negra and Mary Isenhour approving the action.
“The store will relocate to the former CVS storefront in Clinton Plaza, hopefully by the end of the year,” Flanagan said. He said there are contracts to be signed and renovations to be completed before the move.
LOCK HAVEN Another step was taken recently in the city’s multi-year reservoir improvement project.
City council entered into a sales agreement which, if requirements are met, would see the city purchase one of its first of two supplemental water wells in Wayne Township.
The city is looking into the purchase of these wells to use when Keller Reservoir in Zindel Park is drained during the reconstruction of its spillway, City Manager Gregory Wilson said.
The first well, which a geologist has already explored, is situated on 9.1 acres of land at a cost of $200,000.
Wilson noted that the sale would only go through if the city drills successfully into the well and receives the required permits from the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP).

Williamsport s Streets and Parks department will have all available plow and salt trucks operating for the duration of the storm; however, it will be nearly impossible to keep up with the rate of snowfall predicted overnight. Please be
patient. Main thoroughfares will be given the highest priority. Side streets and alleys will take time to be cleared.
