Church's New Addition Collapses

Construction on an addition to the Grace Fellowship Church in Leamersville, located on Brethren Lane, Duncansville, came to a halt early Sunday Morning, June 20, when the structure collapsed due to a reported studding failure.

According to Clem Mallot of the Pennsylvania Municipal Code Alliance, work on the building will continue after a complete evaluation of the site and an assessment of damages. Mallot said the PA Municipal Code Alliance will help guide contractors on what to do to make the site safe and on what repairs need to be made.
