Nonprofit group to run River Common events

Luzerne County officials are getting ready to appoint members to a nonprofit organization that will handle event programming and fundraising at the $23 million River Common park along the Susquehanna River.

The organization, Luzerne County Tomorrow, was formed so the county funds won’t have to be spent on recreational activities. County officials also believe people and businesses will be more likely to donate to an outside group than government.

The county Flood Protection Authority agreed Tuesday to create a nine-member board to oversee Luzerne County Tomorrow.
