Luzerne County plans to use $3.5 million in federal funds for road and bridge repairs to avoid tax hikes.

Luzerne County is assessing leftover federal funds from the American Rescue Plan Act to allocate for road and bridge repairs. Approximately $3.5 million is available, with $3 million already included in the 2025 budget to prevent tax hikes. The county is considering reallocating funds from other projects, like park improvements and a planned parkade, to support critical infrastructure. They aim to propose new road and bridge projects by January for spring 2025 construction.
