The schedule for this phase of paving is as follows:

n June 13 – Apple Alley from Second Street through Sixth Street and Blythe Alley from the dead end through Sixth Street.

Matt Staniszewski, borough manager and chief operating officer, said more paving is planned for 2022 in addition to this phase of the 2021 paving project.

“Now that we are starting to get the business side of the government house in order, we are working with the mayor and council, along with our vendors and the utility companies in getting Charleroi back on track,” he said. “We are structuring several of these projects to stretch the taxpayers’ dollars and provide the greatest possible impact in our neighborhoods and business district.”
