flag Luzerne County proposes a new development division, updates procurement rules, and urges dog licensing to boost transparency and community safety.

flag Luzerne County’s Code Review Committee will meet Thursday to discuss a proposed new Infrastructure, Community, and Economic Development Division, the first since the 2012 home rule charter, aimed at boosting development. flag County officials seek to rename the division to avoid confusion with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. flag The council unanimously approved updating purchasing thresholds to $13,200 for price quotes and $24,500 for bidding, aligning with Pennsylvania’s CPI adjustments, though some residents worry about reduced transparency. flag The county is also urging dog owners to license pets, with annual fees at $10.80 and lifetime options at $52.80, to help reunite lost animals and avoid fines up to $500.
