After New Bethlehem Borough received national media attention for its levels of snowfall during Winter Storm Fern, the borough and the Office of the Mayor have expressed their pride in the volunteers, crews and public servants who stepped up during the storm.
“Their selfless service reflects the true pride, resilience and strength of our small community during one of the largest snow events to occur in more than 16 years,” the borough and mayor’s office said in a press release.
