Piezo expansion plans revised Piezo Crystal has adjusted its schedule for an expansion expected to create jobs at its K Street plant in Carlisle. The borough planning commission Thursday recommended approval of Piezo's plans to carry out the expansion in two phases rather than one. That section had been scheduled for demolition. Phase 1 also is to include construction of 204 off-street parking spaces and closing of a driveway at the northwest corner of the property. And a total of 261 off-street parking places will be available by the end of phase two.
Sprayers waging war on insects Bug-control efforts are in full swing in Cumberland County.
Spraying for adult mosquitos and gnats began this week, while spraying for gypsy moths took place last weekend. An ultra-low volume spray method using malathion is used for the adult mosquitos between 8 and 11 p.m., the most intense time for mosquito activity. Vector Control, the county office that handles pest and insect problems, is responsible for the mosquito program. Coordinator John Bitner anticipates only a slight increase in the mosquito population in the area despite this year's surplus of moisture. Back to CumberLink.
