Coplay: Construction work on North Front St.

A lot of construction activity is going on along North Front Street, prior to reconstruction and paving projects that will take place later in the summer or early fall at the latest.

Curb and sidewalk replacement by private property owners is happening in areas where needed. It has been a long time, some say decades, that these blocks of North Front Street received a makeover.

The borough reminds residents electronics equipment cannot go out with garbage.

Individuals can dispose of such material by taking it to the GER Solutions site. There is a 50-cent-per-pound fee charged.

Further information can be obtained by calling the borough hall at 610-262-6088.

As a reminder, Coplay Public Library will accept donations of baby items through June 30. The items donated will be given to Turning Point, a Lehigh Valley nonprofit agency that assists moms in need.

The library reported a recent comedy night, a fundraiser to help support the library’s operations, at Wisecrackers Comedy Club at Ramada Inn, Whitehall, brought in $465.

The first in a series of special events at Parkway Pool, an Elvis pool party tribute featuring Andy Svreck, takes place 6-9 p.m. July 1.

There also is a Dip-N-Dance scheduled at the pool 6-9 p.m. July 8 with DH Productions returning.

Additionally, as a gesture by the borough to show its appreciation to veterans, those who show their Armed Forces identification at the entrance will receive free access to Parkway Pool; no daily admission or season pass will be required.
