Greensburg science center planned

Joe Napsha writes in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:

Downtown Greensburg could have a hands-on science center for children and adults at the former Mellon Bank building if two natives can make their dream a reality.

An interactive science center would feature a wide range of exhibits featuring sight, sound, motion, light and gears — “anything with science involved,” said Douglas Lingsch, 43, a businessman who lives in Bedford in Bedford County. He and his wife, Mari-Pat, hope to open the Discovery & Interactive Science Center in the fall of 2008 or 2009, he said.

They anticipate creating an attraction similar to the Carnegie Science Center in Pittsburgh, Douglas Lingsch said.
