WILKES-BARRE, Pa. — The Wilkes-Barre Housing Authority has received a $3 million grant to install fire sprinkler systems at high-rises in the city.
Housing officials say since a deadly fire in 2017 at Lincoln Plaza the authority has been working to install sprinkler systems in all of its high rises.
The $3 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development will be used to install systems at East End Towers, South View Manor, and Valley View Terrace.
