regional youth detention center<\/a> at the site of the former Berks County Juvenile Detention Center.<\/p>\nBarnhardt said Berks County made a presentation on the regional effort at a CCAP event earlier this week.<\/p>\n
CCAP held its annual conference and trade show from August 3-5 in Monroe County.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was really uplifting to have all 5 counties represented and I think it was really impactful to see the cooperative efforts of five counties coming together on a need of mutual interest,\u201d Barnhardt said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI really appreciate the effort on behalf of the board of CCAP and I think went over amazingly well.\u201d<\/p>\n
Commissioner Christian Y. Leinbach echoed those thoughts.<\/p>\n
\u201cI heard from several people right after the program that really found it valuable and are looking forward to hearing how things proceed,\u201d Leinbach said. \u201cRegionalization, while it doesn’t solve everything, there are a lot of other opportunities out there where counties can work together and provide services in a joint fashion. I was very impressed with the comments from the other four counties.”<\/p>\n
\u201cI will reiterate what I said there,\u201d he added. \u201cOur team did an amazing job. It really made Berks County look good, and all five counties look special in that they are doing this together.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"READING, Pa. \u2013 The Berks County Chief Administrative Officer Kevin Barnhardt acknowledged support the county received from the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260508,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[10200,30103,50999,107067,46144,128,130,129],"class_list":["post-260507","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-reading","tag-christian-y-leinbach","tag-county-commissioners-association-of-pennsylvania","tag-detention-center","tag-former-berks-county-juvenile-detention-center","tag-kevin-barnhardt","tag-reading-city","tag-reading-city-headlines","tag-reading-city-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260507","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260507"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260507\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260507"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260507"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260507"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
