PennDOT Eyes Big Savings From Mild Winter
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation officials say the mild winter should cut snow removal costs by tens of millions, with only $13 million of a $50 million winter budget spent by January end. Delaware County spends less than half of its $680,000 snow budget, while District 6 has $4.07 million left of $6.79 million. Caution remains as a major snow event could erase gains.
