RNN STROUDSBURG 08/25/26          POCONO TOWNSHIP COMMISSIONERS HAVE DELAYED A DECISION ON THE FUTURE OF THE POCONO MANOR RESORT.          THE BOARD VOTED TO TABLE A PROPOSED ORDINANCE THAT WOULD FORCE THE OWNER TO REPAIR OR DEMOLISH THE REMAINING STRUCTURES LEFT DAMAGED BY A 2019 FIRE.          SOME LEADERS CALL THE DELAPIDATED BUILDINGS AN EYESORE THAT HURTS LOCAL TAX REVENUE. THE DELAY GIVES THE PROPERTY OWNER MORE TIME TO REVIEW THE TOWNSHIP'S REPORT BEFORE COMMISSIONERS TAKE FINAL ACTION.          STROUDSBURG BOROUGH COUNCIL HAS A NEW MEMBER.          COUNCIL MEMBERS VOTED 4-TO-2 LAST WEEK TO APPOINT ROBERT LLOPIS TO FILL THE VACANT SEAT LEFT BY JOSEPH SHAY’S RESIGNATION. LLOPIS, A LOCAL VOLUNTEER FIREFIGHTER AND WARD CONSTABLE, BEAT OUT SIX OTHER CANDIDATES FOR THE POST.          HE WILL SERVE THE REMAINDER OF SHAY'S TERM, WHICH RUNS THROUGH DECEMBER 2027.                NEWS BROUGHT TO YOU BY "WE FIGHT FENTANYL."            THE OPIOID CRISIS IS REAL.  LISTEN TO THE "DOSE OF REALITY PODCAST"  AT WE FIGHT FENTANYL-DOT-ORG.  POWERFUL STORIES.  HONEST CONVERSATIONS.           LAURA LEBEAU, RADIO NOVO NEWS.
