Frackville Economic Development Committee unveils new Facebook page; Halloween parade, trick-or-treat set in borough
FRACKVILLE – The Frackville Economic Development Committee has a new Facebook page, and the borough has set the date for their Halloween parade and trick-or-treat night.
The committee’s new Facebook page, Frackville Downtown, launched just under a week ago and was part of their update to council at Wednesday night’s meeting.
Patti Domalakes, a member of the committee, said they now have a social media manager and the page is to help people “be more well informed of what’s going on with Frackville downtown.”
She also said that the group wants to move forward with Heritage Park plans soon.
In other business, Karen Domalakes, from the recreation committee, said the Halloween parade will be held on Oct. 29.
Mayor Kim Phillips added that Trick-or-Treat will be on Oct. 31 from 6pm to 8pm.
Both provided an update on the ongoing Sesquicentennial planning, with Phillips noting that a fundraiser is being planned closer to Christmas, and Karen Domalakes noting that their meetings are public on the second Sunday of the month at 6pm.
Council also presented letters of commendation to three people who helped save the life of a toddler last month.
In other business, the borough approved:
- A payment of $166,197.52 to Performance Construction, Inc., for the FEMA project;
- A change order of $6,081 for the 2023 Street Paving program and a final payment of $88,962.27 from the Liquid Fuels Fund;
