Luzerne County Council approves tax break, bridge advancement, opioid earmarks

No Comments on Luzerne County Council approves tax break, bridge advancement, opioid earmarks

Luzerne County Council unanimously voted Tuesday to grant a real estate tax break, advance planning for the Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge project and earmark $1 million in opioid litigation settlement funds.

County Councilman Chris Perry had described the tax break as a “unique plan” because developer Hillwood Properties will make four payments in lieu of taxes to the county totaling $945,000.

Hillwood also expects to spend $10 million to make the 360-acre, coal mine-scarred site suitable for constructing four buildings. Located along Route 309 in Hazle Township, the site contains waste ponds, deep open pits and multiple levels of subsurface mines.

Hillwood will receive 100% county real estate tax forgiveness on new construction the first seven years, a 90% discount in the eighth year, 80% in the ninth and 70% in the tenth and final year. The owner will continue paying taxes on the land throughout the break because the forgiveness applies only to new construction.

Bridge

The county must start from scratch in determining a solution for the deteriorated, county-owned Nanticoke/West Nanticoke Bridge over the Susquehanna River because $10 million in federal funding has been allocated to the project through the state, officials said.

The regimented process involving the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation will start with a search for an engineer that must come up with three options.

Three options already were presented for the bridge by Alfred Benesch and Associates, which had been hired by the county before federal funding was involved to determine the “best and most economical option.” Benesch’s work thus far cannot be applied to the final project because the selection process for the engineer must go through the PennDOT procurement system due to the county’s receipt of the $10 million, officials said.

Benesch originally recommended largely replacing the existing bridge but later advocated construction of…

Cussin’s Nail Salon and Dispensary doubles down on self care

No Comments on Cussin’s Nail Salon and Dispensary doubles down on self care

Yet, owning two businesses has proved plenty good enough for her.

With the opening of a dispensary, the local nail artist has expanded her offerings and now provides an even more uplifting affair. Cussin’s Cannabis and Nail Salon is located at 2075 Central Ave. in Colonie and is open 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. during its soft opening period.

“All the clients, when they leave the salon, the first thing that they do is they sit in their car for a couple minutes and they look at their nails,” said Rodriguez. “They’re feeling fresh, they’re feeling fly, and now they get to do all that, and also buy weed and go home with weed, which I think just literally elevates the whole experience.”

Rodriguez leases both storefronts in the Central Avenue building, with separate entrances situated on either side to access the different parts of the business, ensuring compliance with state regulations. The nail salon has been in business for six years and was formerly located on Jay Street in downtown Schenectady. The salon moved to the Central Avenue building in June of this year and some staffers work on both sides of the business.

“The majority of the walk-in traffic is definitely salon clients right now,” said Rodriguez. “And then, I would say after that, would be pick-up orders…People like to be able to just come in and it’s ready. You can be in and out in three minutes.”

To book services at the nail salon, Rodriguez highly recommends booking in advance as demand is high. She is not taking on any new clients herself, but some of her staffers — who she mentors through the process of running their business within a business — are. Reach the salon at 518-313-4200.
