Casey and Smucker among those at Susquehanna National Heritage Area Celebration at Columbia Crossing
Senator Bob Casey (right) and Congressman Lloyd Smucker listen to remarks at today's Susquehanna National Heritage Area celebration at Columbia Crossing.
About 100 people, including Senator Bob Casey and Congressman Lloyd Smucker, gathered on the deck of Columbia Crossing this morning to celebrate the designation of Lancaster and York Counties as the Susquehanna National Heritage Area. Casey and Smucker had pushed for the National Heritage Area designation for the two counties. The roughly hour-long presentation included remarks by Casey and Smucker as well as Susquehanna National Heritage Area President Mark Platts, who led the meeting.
The national designation, signed March 12 of this year by President Trump, is expected to stimulate economic development by enticing tourists and businesses to the area. The Susquehanna River was a key factor in the decision. Funding will come from the federal government in the form of matching grants. The designation now brings the total of National Heritage Areas to 55.

Columbia's D-Day paratrooper spotted at 75th Anniversary in Normandy
Columbia's Raymond C. Wallace, who parachuted into Normandy, France on June 6, 1944, was seen on a television broadcast from there this morning at the 75th Anniversary of D-Day. Wallace was a 19-year-old paratrooper in the Army's 82nd Airborne Division when he jumped from a damaged C-47 aircraft, during which the heel of his boot was shot off. Wallace was a prisoner of war during the last 10 months of World War II.
