A story in The Times Leader Thursday about Wyoming Valley West’s purchase
of property requires clarification. The deed to the land required the district
to use the property for a school or playground. The district agreed to the
restriction in buying the land from the Blue Coal Co. Now that a school on the
land has been closed, the board voted 7-2 to lift the deed restriction at a
cost of $34,500. Earth Conservancy agreed to the price, which was 60 percent
of the appraised value.
