Residents of Pennsylvania Neighborhood Concerned about Contamination from Nearby Factory

September 11, 2007 - The state will hold a public meeting with town residents this month to answer questions about a cleanup at the former Bergen Tool factory.

Mayor Michael Lavery said at Monday's council meeting the Department of Environmental Protection planned to meet with town officials on the issue but he suggested opening it up to residents.

"There's certainly a lot of concern in the neighborhood," he said. "I think the best way to handle it is for the residents to hear it from the DEP themselves."
