Potter County Bridge to be replaced as part of Public-Private Partnership
Construction for a Route 449 (South Brookland Road) bridge in Potter County is scheduled to begin next week as part of the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s (PennDOT) Rapid Bridge Replacement Project. The bridge spans Buckseller Run in Ulysses Township. Replacement of this bridge will allow PennDOT to remove it from Potter County’s structurally deficient bridge list.
Construction is expected to begin on July 5 and be complete in two weeks. During this time, drivers will be directed to follow a detour along Route 49, Route 44 (North Main Street), US 6 (East 2nd Street), and Route 449 (North Brookland Road).
In the event of unfavorable weather or unforeseen activities, this schedule may change.
This bridge is referred to as JV-86 and is one out of the 558 bridges being replaced under the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project. JV references the joint-venture partnership between Walsh/Granite, which is leading construction for the entire project.
The Rapid Bridge Replacement Project is a public-private partnership (P3) between PennDOT and Plenary Walsh Keystone Partners (PWKP), under which PWKP will finance, design, replace, and maintain the bridges for 25 years. The P3 approach will allow PennDOT to replace the bridges more quickly while achieving significant savings and minimizing impacts on motorists.
To see the bridges included in the statewide initiative and to learn more about the Rapid Bridge Replacement Project and P3 in Pennsylvania, visit www.p3forpa.pa.gov. Additional information on the project, the team, and how to bid on the project can be found at www.parapidbridges.com.
June 2018 lived up to it's reputation. It was a very nice month. We had several very nice sunny days. Cool nights and warm days. On the 28th we had a 40 degree reading in the morning and then we had readings in the mid 80's mid month and on the 30th. We had two thunderstorms, fortunately we missed the big storm on the evening of the 13th. Tioga and Bradford Counties had high winds, a tornado or two with wind damage.
We received 2.81" of rainfall. Last year we measured 5.25" Rainfall for the first six months is slightly above the average with 21.15"
The average high temperature for June is 78 degrees and the average low is 56 degrees.
We had 7 foggy mornings.
Get ready to celebrate the fourth. Galeton is proud to have one of the best fireworks displays in the state and of course the Red Suspenders Weekend. Many local people work hard to make these things happen. Just west of town is the Bark Peelers event at the Lumbermen's museum. Dark Skies too. A lot goes on in this little town.

This free event will have lunch, fun for the kids with a bounce house, face-painting, and other opportunities for fun and fellowship for families.
"We're inviting the community out to the newly renovated park to enjoy food, fun, and make friends, " says McAvoy. "It's our way to show God's love in a practical way to our community and to share the message that God loves us, is for us, and wants us to experience His goodness in our lives and share it with others to make our community a better place."
The church is also launching a new series of messages called "STORMS" this Sunday addressing the topic of how to get our bearings when storms of life hit and that God is with us to help and grow us. Services are Sundays 8:30a, 10:00a, & 11:30a at Bradford and 9 & 11 at Port Allegany. Services can also be viewed on YouTube and Facebook.

The public is invited to meet Susan Boser, candidate for US Congress for Pennsylvania’s 15th District at the Meet-The-Candidate Event sponsored by James Heckman on July 3, 2018 from 11:30 am - 1:30 pm. All are welcome, but registered Republicans are particularly encouraged to come and hear her plan to work across the aisle.
At the meeting, Boser will listen closely to the concerns of those in attendance and discuss her plans to advocate for the district by promoting small businesses, providing high-speed internet access throughout rural areas, increasing business opportunities through renewable energy, spurring infrastructure development, expanding treatment for addictions, and funding education. She is keenly interested in developing working relationships that cross-party lines and that enable her to address the specific challenges of the PA 15th District.
During the program, she will also discuss how her background, education and experience have prepared her to tackle today’s most pressing problems to get positive results.
Boser is running for Congress because she cares deeply about the rural way of life. The oldest of five children, she grew up in a small rural town in southwestern New York state, next to northern counties in Pennsylvania. Even though her family struggled financially, Boser has fond memories of her childhood. She knew all the families in town and had a sense of safety and connection in the community. Thus, Boser has a deep understanding of what is important to rural families. For the last 22 years, she has lived in Indiana, PA. Boser has three children and one grandchild.
Boser has 20 years of experience in the mental health field and addiction services. She earned her Ph.D. at Cornell's Department of Policy Analysis with a focus on human services. She is currently a professor in the Department of Sociology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania and a member of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) union. Additionally, she is active in local government and non-profit organizations.
To learn more about Boser, visit her Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/boserforcongress/boserforcongress or her web page at https://www.susanboserforcongress.com

JKLM Energy Contributes $1.65M in Natural Gas Impact Fees; Potter County receives $359,070, municipalities receive $593,092 in total
(June 21, 2018) On June 21, the Pennsylvania Utility Commission (PUC) announced nearly $210 million in natural gas impact fee disbursements for 2017. Locally, Potter County government received $359,070, while individual municipalities within the county received $593,902 in total.
According to the PUC, JKLM Energy, LLC paid $1,651,900 in Impact Fees, nearly double its 2016 payment of $830,400. JKLM Energy’s total Impact Fee tax payments total more than $2.5 million since drilling began in 2015.
The Impact Fee is a tax paid by Pennsylvania’s natural gas producers. The tax is assessed on each well drilled and it is paid annually for 15 years of a well’s lifespan. The tax directly supports communities in every county across the Commonwealth, as well as key statewide environmental and conservation programs. However, funds are distributed in a way that ensures the counties and municipalities with drilling activity receive the vast majority of Impact Fee proceeds.
Local governments are authorized to allocate these funds to support a variety of needs in the community, including emergency preparedness and public safety, public infrastructure construction, environmental programs, water preservation and reclamation projects, storm water and sewer systems, housing projects, social services, judicial services, career and technical centers, planning initiatives, records management, reducing taxes, or for deposit into a capital reserve fund.
“Potter County has benefited from the impact fee, both at the countywide and local government levels. Each dollar we receive through the impact fee is a dollar that is not coming from our local taxpayers. Our board has been able to build up a modest cash reserve, largely as a result of the impact fee revenue. That will greatly reduce the burden that otherwise would have to be borne by local taxpayers for a new 911 emergency communications system,” said Potter County Commissioner Paul Heimel.
The impact fee has generated nearly $1.5 billion in Pennsylvania since its inception 2012, and will continue to provide an important source of revenue for counties and municipalities in our Commonwealth.
