Clarification

Since the publication of TRR’s June 20 story about Lumberland Supervisor John LiGreci’s report before the town board that an endangered species found near the Pond Eddy Bridge might threaten a planned 2004 bridge replacement project, no additional evidence has been found to back up LiGreci’s contention.

Neither the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT), which is building the bridge, or the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, which LiGreci gave as the source of the report, have reported anything to document his contention.

Other private and government sources have challenged its validity.

PennDOT says the bridge project remains on schedule.

The Lumberland supervisor has not responded to recent inquiries for additional documentation supporting his remarks.

Correction

Joseph Greco, aged three, was misidentified in last week’s story about New Hope Manor in Barryville.
