Brembt Becomes Chief; New Market to Get Upgrade

The Borough Council promoted Captain Paul Brembt to acting Police Chief tonight, effective immediately.  To see the Courier News and Home News Tribune profile on Captain Brembt, click here.

Brembt takes over for retiring Chief John Ferraro.  Ferraro is officially on the books for six more months, so Brembt will be acting chief in the meantime.  His official appointment will come in September.

In addition to the promotion, the Council also approved a major road reconstruction project for part of New Market Avenue.  The  project will cost $675,000, with $356,000 coming from a state grant.  It includes road reconstruction, as well as curbing, driveway aprons, and ADA curbing.

The reconstruction will begin near South Clinton Avenue and end east of Highland Avenue.  It is expected to take several weeks, with construction to begin in a few months.

Residents have been complaining about the condition of the road since it was made a truck route about two years ago.  In addition to repairing the road itself, the reconstruction project is expected to reduce the noise and vibrations caused by the trucks.

  1. I would like to know when South Clinton Avenue will be redone (like Hamilton Ave. was redone FOR truck traffic). Don't forget, CARS actually use So. Clinton Ave. also, even though we may live on the north side of town! I have written to the County about this three times and have never received an answer!
