Dirt to fly in Linglestown this summer

The Linglestown makeover project that features two roundabouts and new sidewalks most likely won’t break ground until sometime this summer, according to discussions at last week's meeting of the Village of Linglestown Committee.

Jeff Case, the project’s lead designer with Aurora and Associates, P.C. engineering firm, said ongoing work to secure right-of-way agreements from about 100 property owners along Linglestown Road and Blue Mountain Parkway needs to be completed before construction bids can be requested.

Case and Lower Paxton Township manager George Wolfe are scheduled to meet with state transportation officials this week to discuss right-of-way issues. The next communication property owners will receive from the township is a formal financial offer for giving construction crews access to private property to improve roadways, sidewalks and the village square.

Check back daily this week for updates on the Linglestown square and streetscape project.
