(WTAJ) — After almost six months of safety-related delays, the Johnstown Inclined Plane will not open in 2024.

The Cambria County Transit Authority (CamTran) announced the decision Monday citing the time required to re-manufacture key components followed by six months of system testing, re-certification, and operator training.

“The goal has been and remains to reopen the Incline to the public so it operates in a safe manner and fulfills its commitment to ensure longevity and durability of the Incline for many years to come,” CamTran said in a press release.

Bruce Jordan will fill the vacant school director position on the Greater Johnstown School Board after being unanimously appointed at Modnay’s special meeting.

Seven candidates applied to fill the role but Jordan was the only person nominated by the board to take the position.

“He’s a high-character guy,” board member Randy Romesburg said. “I think he’ll be an asset to our board and we’re happy to have him.”
