The borough of Clarks Summit will pay a landowner nearly $2 million for closing a street.
A settlement was reached Monday between the borough in Lackawanna County and the developer.
In September a county jury agreed with Peter Amato that when the borough blocked off Grandview Street in 2003 it blocked access to his development.
The jury awarded him over $2 million. The settlement is just under that.
The solicitor in Clarks Summit expects to pay for the settlement by taking out a loan.
