Staff in the Avalon administrative offices may have a little extra help this summer, as the borough has been approved to participate in a college internship program with the Local Government Academy.

Borough manager Harry Dilmore told council members at the regular meeting on Tuesday that the borough had been accepted and that he would begin interviewing potential candidates later this week.

He noted that the $4,300 cost to participate in the program will be shared with Kilbuck Township, which also has applied to participate.
