PETERSBURG – Upper Township Engineer Paul Dietrich informed Committee members at their March 23 meeting that construction projects are not banned activities during the COVID-19 outbreak.
“As a result of this carve-out of construction projects, we plan to authorize the contractor to proceed with bulkhead improvement at Sumner Avenue, in the Strathmere section of the township, starting work this Friday or Monday [March 27 or 30],” Dietrich said.
