JACKSON TOWNSHIP, CAMBRIA COUNTY – One local community gets some great news after years fighting with the DEP over a fishing pond.
Thursday morning Jackson Township supervisors got the call saying their plans to build a new fishing pond were finally approved. The township supervisors made the announcement at their meeting Thursday night.
Ed Westrick is the former president of the Jackson Township Community Rod and Gun Club. He was there when the township started talking about digging a new fishing pond years ago, and has been following the progress even after he stepped down as president.
Township supervisor john wallet has been sending paperwork back and forth to the DEP for years now. There’s still a lot of work to day to clear some of this forest and dig the two acre pond off of Loraine Road. But the township is asking for money and labor donations to use as little tax dollars as possible
The Rod and Gun Club plans to hold their annual fishing tournament there and their group will maintain the grounds. The current president feels like this will help them get more kids interested in the outdoors.
The township will start surveying the grounds right away so they can start digging.
