A long-awaited flood project that would prevent damage to homes has hit a major roadblock in Scranton’s Green Ridge section. According to reports, in order for the $12,000,000 state-funded project to repair the crumbling Meadow Brook waterway, people living there need to sign easement agreements giving temporary or permanent access to their land.
But so far, only 3 of the 47 homeowners have signed on, leaving the project stuck in limbo. Scranton Council President Gerald Smurl said that even if this project gets the green light, it will take around two years to finish.
