The Luzerne County Flood Protection Authority (LCFPA) is a government organization established in 1996 as part of the Wyoming Valley Levee Raising Project. With a mission to safeguard the Wyoming Valley from potential damage caused by high water events along the Susquehanna River in Northeast Pennsylvania, the LCFPA is responsible for the maintenance, operation, and repair of the Wyoming Valley Flood Risk Management Project. Covering a 16-mile stretch, the project protects various communities, including Edwardsville Borough, Exeter Borough, Forty Fort Borough, Hanover Township, Municipality of Kingston, Luzerne Borough, Plymouth Borough, Pringle Borough, Swoyersville Borough, West Wyoming Borough, Wyoming Borough, and the City of Wilkes-Barre.
The LCFPA board, led by Chairman Dominic Yannuzzi, Vice Chairman William Hardwick, Treasurer Gordon Dussinger, Secretary John Maday, and Assistant Secretary Treasurer Jay Delaney, aims to foster an effective group spirit that encourages collaboration and pride in the organization. The LCFPA also seeks support from the community through donations to enhance the recreational amenities along the Wyoming Valley Levee Trail, such as landscaping, garbage receptacle upgrades, and educational wayside kiosks. By working together, the LCFPA and the community strive to ensure the safety and well-being of the Wyoming Valley.
