In brief

Boro to oversee

noise enforcement

EBENSBURG – At the request of owner Shane Caylor, Borough Council members on Monday agreed to assume local responsibility for noise enforcement under the Pennsylvania Liquor Code.

The former owner of the Castle Pub on North Center Street had difficulty complying with the state’s strict noise enforcement, and the liquor agency allows local municipalities to enforce that portion of liquor laws locally, borough Manager Dan Penatzer told the council.

The borough has a noise ordinance in place, and local control would involve amplified music coming from the bar.

The organization says all of the timber rights and land have been transferred to the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Bureau of Forestry.
