I was reading about the developmen­t plans for where Flagg used to be. My concern about that is some of that is cited for possible industrial use and if that is so, being along the river, what type of industrial planning would be acceptable since they’re kind of whitewashi­ng this through without any zoning or any pre-accountabi­lity?

Concerned I’m wondering are we going to hold the FBI accountabl­e for what happened in Florida, the school shooting, since on Jan. 5 they were tipped off about this Nicholas Cruz kid and they did nothing about it?

Start with the primary. A Senior Citizen

The person who wanted a free smoke detector from the Borough of Spring City might want to consider going to Walmart or Home Depot and purchase a smoke detector there. The small towns like Spring City don’t have the funds to buy everybody everything in life. If you want that life go back to Philadelph­ia.
