2027 Capital Plan and Courthouse Facade Priority
The county owns roughly 300 bridges and structures; inspections of smaller ones had lapsed for 20 years and are now ~70% caught up. Ten unfunded bridges are in poor or serious condition, many built with a faulty 'box beam' design that rotted from the inside. Council wants a heat map, priority schedules, and a funded maintenance plan.

Duryea Borough demolition fund request
Duryea spent over $60,000 tearing down a fire-gutted, blighted Main Street building and wants Act 152 demolition funds back. Staff confirmed the fund is suited for exactly this and has $78,005 on hand; expect a council vote soon.
