At a February meeting, Northampton Borough Council has given its approval to Northampton Area High School to utilize Municipal Park for the 2019 Northampton Area School District choral concert May 29.
The concert begins 6:30 p.m. at the park’s band shell and is expected to last two hours.
Emily Reinsmith, NAHS choral concert director, made the request, according to borough Manager LeRoy Brobst.
“This would be similar to the event held two years ago at the permanent band shell in the Municipal Park,” Brobst said.
The concert is expected to draw a crowd.
Council waived borough fees for the use of the band shell.
The rain date is scheduled for May 30.
Also at the meeting, a handicapped space at 1420 Railroad St. was approved following a request from Police Chief Bryan Kadingo who reviewed the resident’s application. The borough permits a maximum of two handicapped parking slots in a block.
