(Nov 29, 2022)

WILKES-BARRE, Nov. 29 – State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Luzerne, hosted a meeting with local and state officials at his district office today to discuss the continued issues caused by commercial trucks driving on the road commonly known as Giants Despair in Laurel Run Borough. “Giants Despair is no place for large trucks – in fact it’s called Giants Despair because it’s a treacherous road for large vehicles,” Pashinski said. “Tractor trailers or trucks with excessive weight cannot safely traverse that roadway without danger to the driver and anyone nearby due to the extreme pitch and difficult twists and turns. Today’s meeting was an important step toward finding a long-term solution before additional lives are lost or more damage is done to property.” Pashinski said the meeting was extremely productive , with representatives in attendance from the Pennsylvania State Police, PennDOT, state Sen. Marty Flynn’s office, state Sen. David Argall’s office, and key representatives from all three impacted communities. During the meeting, Pashinski said officials discussed possible solutions, including additional signage, converting the road to a one-way, alerting truck companies about road restrictions, updating GPS guidance systems, and several other proposals that will be pursued before the next meeting. The appropriate solution will depend upon the continued cooperation and support from local and state Read more

Pashinski welcomes $1 million grant for Hanover Township solar farm

(Nov 21, 2022)

HARRISBURG, Nov. 21 – A $1 million state grant today was awarded to help create the PSV solar farm in Hanover Township, announced state Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski. “This proposed solar farm project would take unused land in Hanover Township and create a 5-megawatt facility that could provide enough electricity to power between 800 and 1,000 homes in the area. That’s a wonderful opportunity for new construction jobs and the power grid,” said Pashinski, D-Luzerne. “I would like to thank Governor Tom Wolf for his support on this project and for approving the funding.” Pashinski said the construction would include environmental remediation and engineering, grid modernization and electrical infrastructure, construction and maintenance of the facility, and pollinator friendly/landscape shields. The grant was provided through the state’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, which is administered by Pennsylvania’s Office of the Budget. Funding goes to the acquisition and construction of economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects. RACP projects are state-funded projects that cannot obtain primary funding under other state programs. Today’s RACP award is in addition to others totaling $8.35 million announced by Pashinski in October. Information on those can be found here and here . Read more
