A Palmerton Area School District educator has been chosen to fill an open seat on borough council.
On a 6-0 vote Thursday, council selected Holly Sell as its choice for the vacant post. Other residents who applied were Jereme Barkanic, Gerald Robertson and Gerard Alfano.
Council President Terry Costenbader credited all those who put in for the seat.
"I want to thank everybody that applied," Costenbader said. "It shows that we have some interest in the borough, which is good."
