BLACK LICK A neighborly experiment has been called off in Burrell Township.

As a courtesy to the Sheetz convenience store that opened in late 2012 along Route 22, the Burrell Township board of supervisors agreed to take down the 10-ton weight limit signs on Lintner Road beside the store.

It was only meant to allow big trucks to turn off the highway at Lintner and use the driveway opposite the busier entrance from Corporate Campus Drive onto the Sheetz property.

Its not working, Supervisor Anthony Distefano said Wednesday.

Trucks have run over curbs, damaged the berm of the road and repeatedly hit a telephone pole at the corner there, said Larry Henry, chairman of the supervisors.

Distefano and Henry voted to put the weight limit signs back up and to ask the state Department of Transportation to post signs along Route 22 to advise drivers of the restriction on Lintner Road.

The limit would be enforced by state police, Henry said.

Henry and Distefano unanimously approved all items of business to come before them at their monthly business meeting. Supervisor John Shields was absent from the meeting.

In other action, the board:

Awarded road maintenance supply contracts, based on bids opened and tabled at a special meeting March 13.

Demolition day looms for Croydon Council's old headquarters Taberner House

9:08am Thursday 20th March 2014 in News By Robert Fisk

Demolition of Croydon Councils former headquarters will start next month after councillors gave it the go ahead.

The 19-storey building Taberner House will be taken down one level at a time, until the demolition is completed at the start of next year.

As the 1960s office block is in the town centre, no explosives will be used.

Instead the building will first be cleared internally before demolition excavators are brought in.

They will break away all the way down to the ground floor until the demolition is complete.

Working hours will be 8am to 6pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 1pm Saturday.

There will be no Saturday afternoon, Sunday or Bank Holiday working unless otherwise agreed with council officers prior to the works.

Go to croydon.gov.uk/tabernerhouse for more information on the demolition works.

Demolition day is nearing for the Hilton Fort Lauderdale Airport hotel.

The 388-room property at 1870 Griffin Road near Interstate 95 is expected to close permanently March 31 and later razed to make way for the completion of the new south runway at Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport.

As of Tuesday, reservations were still being accepted for that final night according to a front desk agent who said it was the hotel's last day for accepting guests.

Tourism officials say the Hilton's loss is a blow to room inventory in Broward County, which hasn't grown dramatically in recent years. The county had 33,294 available hotel and motel units in 2012, versus 34,976 in 2011, data from the Greater Fort Lauderdale Convention & Visitors Bureau (CVB) show.

"This will absolutely have an impact on our available group inventory and makes the need for a Convention Center hotel even more critical," CVB President Nicki Grossman said. "Fortunately there are some proposed properties scheduled for development over the next two years which will make new inventory available, but we will certainly feel the pinch now."

The hotel's loss is also likely to put on dent in tourist tax collection with fewer hotel beds available to accommodate overnight visitors.

In 2012, Dania Beach was the third-largest municipality behind Fort Lauderdale and Hollywood for tourism tax collection, according to the latest CVB data. It generated $3.4 million (or 7.8 percent0 of the $43.8 million in tourism taxes collected that year, which is derived from the 5 percent 'bed tax' levied on overnight hotel visitors.

In January the Hilton's operator informed state officials that its 63 full-time and part-time employees would be laid off effective April 1 due to its permanent closure. The affected jobs ranged from general manager to restaurant food servers and room attendants, according to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notice filed.

Last year, Broward County bought the Dania Hilton for $62 million after filing a condemnation lawsuit to take possession under eminent domain. It then hired The BG Group of Boca Raton to tear it down to clear the path for the new runway that's expected to open in September.

The aviation department will assume possession April 7 and BG Group will take about 6-to-8 weeks to assess and prepare the site for demolition, airport spokesman Greg Meyer said Wednesday. The entire structure should be demolished by early June, then filled in and sodded by August, authorities have said.
