The Sullivan County Commissioners unanimously approved a grant agreement on Jan. 5 with the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection for $250,000 to finance streambank stabilization at five pre-determined sites damaged by extreme flooding in July 2025.
Commissioner Brian Hoffman moved to approve the DEP grant agreement, describing the county’s portion as 25% of the project cost; Commissioner Darlene Fenton seconded and the motion was unanimously approved.
