Supreme Court Rules Norwood Landfill Contract Valid
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a $125,000 landfill contract for the Norwood operation, reversing Judge Joseph E. Gold who had voided the award for lack of competitive bidding. The court said Smallwood acted within authority and cited site and traffic factors as justifying the noncompetitive process. The project began Jan 4 and will expand Norwood Park.
