US Army Corp of Engineers and the Stonycreek

Posted on February 20, 2020 by rickb

From what we understand, the US Army Corp of Engineers has contracted a company to clear the vegetation and built up sediment in the Stonycreek River from the area behind Johnstown High School almost to the Hickory Street Bridge. Navigation and access to the river in this area will likely be limited from sometime this spring until the project is finished.
