Despite the cooler temperatures, the focus for the Beaver County Commissioners at Wednesday’s work session steered towards things happening outside.

Public Works director Dan Colville requested that the Commissioners approve the demolition of three outhouse areas at Brush Creek Park: “We’ve had to go out there in the past and demolish some of the old outhouses out there. We have three more out there that are leaking, and it’s costing us money to have to pump those out; otherwise, they’re going to overflow.”

Colville also discussed the installation of units by Constellation Energy on the roof of the County Courthouse is set to begin on Thursday, October 6 and will require a shutdown of Market Street in Beaver for a large crane to haul the units to the rooftop. According to Colville, the agreement had already been reached by Beaver Borough and Constellation. “They’re anticipating being done Saturday and moving the equipment out on Sunday, business as usual on Monday,” Colville added.

That same weekend, the division of Parks and Recreation is looking to hold a Grand Opening for the newly remodeled outdoor courts at Brady’s Run Park. Director Tony Caltury spoke about such possibilities at the work session: “I can look at our schedule; we have some high school tennis matches that perhaps they’d be interested in hosting on the new courts.” Caltury set a tentative date for October 8, but that date was not finalized at the work session.

The next Commissioners’ work session is scheduled for October 5 at 10:00 AM.
