Linda Wetsell, chief financial officer and treasurer of the col­ lege, said while the college had been considering ways to enhance North Main Street safety, the in­ stallation of the lights was expe­ dited after Morris’ death. The lights were paid for in part by Pennsylvania’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, ac- M CVf A tv v croding to Wetsell.
