Cracks prompt new scrutiny at W-B Area high school site

The gym of the new Wilkes-Barre Area High School, with the second floor running track visible in the background, is seen under construction earlier this year in a file photo. Stressing the issue did not involve subsurface problems or work on concrete footers already underground, Wilkes-Barre Area School District Solicitor Ray Wendolowski explained that agreements with three new companies on the new high school construction project are in response to discovery of some cracking in load-bearing walls.
