Centralia's last 9 residents fight eviction

02.05.10

CENTRALIA -- The weed-choked sidewalk dips to the street, flattens and rises again, offering an opening for a car that will never come.

Behind it, tall grass and scattered wildflowers bend in the wind, covering a lot so thoroughly reclaimed by nature that only the disappearing driveway entrance hints at where a house once stood. Beside this lot is another, and another beyond it -- hundreds of them in blocks sectioned by a neat grid of streets in the trough of a lush valley.

Eleven hundred people lived here when the coal underground caught fire on the valley's southern crest in 1962. Nine remain. They're asking a Commonwealth Court judge in Harrisburg on Monday to stop the state from evicting them. The state says dangerous gases could seep into their homes. Residents say the real reason is someone wants access to the coal worth $1 billion under their town.

A Wilkes-Barre law firm the state Department of Community and Economic Development hired to handle evictions was involved in transferring Centralia real estate to a coal company operating just outside town. The coal company's president said he doesn't employ the law firm. A lawyer at the firm declined to comment on the matter.
