Projects Getting Nearly $1 Million

Two McKean County projects are getting nearly $1 million from the state.

The Kessel Athletic Complex will receive $500,000 while the McKean County Multi-Tenant Facility will receive $400,000.

Senator Joe Scarnati said the funding is being made available through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, which is intended to assist in the immediate creation of quality, family-sustaining jobs. To date, $1.5 million has been released for the Kessel project, bringing the total amount of state assistance secured to $2 million.

Scarnati says the Kessel project will create construction jobs and ultimately provide new opportunities for recreation. He adds that even in a tight budget year, economic development and job creation must remain a top priority.

The money for the Kessel project is being released to the Bradford Office of Economic and Community Development. The money for the multi-tenant center is being released to the McKean County Industrial Development Authority.

It has been almost impossible to communicate to McKean County as a whole about a Degolia PA roadside-rest archaeological site now perversely surrounded with a streamside cemetery. It is hoped that any and all industrial development will be directed away from the site until the attention of archaeologists can be successfully engaged, as attempted in the mid-1970s. The Route 219 bypass project was initiated to bypass the city of Bradford, instead, while the artifact site became covered with roadway asphalt dust during funneled traffic flow. A worldwide audience is witnessing artifact-site degradation rather than formal archaeological investigation initiated.

Corbett said the nearly 2-year long grand jury investigation, known as “Operation Diamond Drop,” used court-ordered wiretaps, undercover surveillance and controlled drug purchases to identify large-scale cocaine and marijuana traffickers in the region. “Drug trafficking at this level is ‘big business’, including upper-level suppliers, mid-level distributers and street-level sales people,” Corbett said. “Our investigations focus on following the drugs and money to their source, allowing us to attack an entire drug distribution network when we make our arrests.” Corbett said the chief figure charged today is Miguel Angel Burgos, 31, 9891 Holly
