LEWISTOWN During a brief special meeting Friday, the Municipal Authority of the Borough of Lewistown Board of Directors voted to repeal a resolution enacted at Monday’s special meeting that sought to have Lewistown Borough take over the authority’s debt for the purpose of refinancing.
The board’s discussion centered around the need to have funding available for MABL’s capital improvement projects. Under the resolution, it seemed as though MABL would have been forced to seek approval from Lewistown Borough for any expenditures.
Engineer Pat Ward said there was some “miscommunication with what was going on” at Monday’s meeting.

Police are on scene directing traffic along Malcomson Street after the truck hit the overhead lines about 4.40pm.

SOUTHFIELD On the evening of Aug. 14, 2020, the residents of Green Valley Street opened their mailboxes. Inside was a letter from the Southfield Planning Department that talked about a construction project taking place at the end of their street.
“We immediately called the numbers on the form and found out Southfield Public Schools had petitioned the city of Southfield to use the easement at the end of Green Valley Street as an emergency access road,” said Camille Johnson, who has lived on Green Valley Street for 25 years. “Nobody knew about this. We were all just walking around stunned with this piece of paper in our hands.”
