Resource center event announced for Plum's Rustic Ridge residents

Multiple services and help will be available for residents of Plum’s Rustic Ridge neighborhood during an event Thursday afternoon at the borough’s municipal center, officials announced Tuesday.

The Multi-Agency Resource Center will be offered from noon to 8 p.m. in the municipal center’s gymnasium. Individuals will need to provide identification showing they live in the Rustic Ridge plan.

The borough is touting the center as “an efficient way to deliver services to individuals, families and communities affected by disasters,” referring to the fatal Aug. 12 house explosion on Rustic Ridge Drive.

According to the borough, several local, state and federal agencies have been asked to attend the event at the municipal center, 2000 Old Mine Road.
