Pottsville Officials Highlight Redevelopment, Grants and City Improvements at Veterans Day Address

POTTSVILLE — City officials and state lawmakers gathered on the steps of Pottsville City Hall on Wednesday, Veterans Day, to outline redevelopment projects, infrastructure improvements and changes to municipal operations, emphasizing partnerships as a driving force behind the work. The November 11 gathering combined recognition of military veterans with a public update on the city’s progress and priorities. Mayor Tom Smith had invited residents, business owners and community partners to attend the address. Councilman Andy Wollyung hosted the program, which opened with the Pledge of Allegiance led by Master Sgt. Ed Maze, identified during the event as a 40-year U.S. Army veteran. Speakers included Smith, state Sen. David Argall, state Rep. Tim Twardzik, Pottsville Redevelopment Authority Chairman Bud Quandel and Councilman Jonathan Marsh. Wollyung said moving Pottsville forward requires looking beyond its past accomplishments and building relationships across government and the community. “A great history is a foundation, not a destination,” Wollyung said. “It’s easy to look back and tell a story of what Pottsville was.
