Visitors to Point State Park next holiday season may be able to gaze upon a lighted tree near the confluence of the three rivers after all.
Duquesne Light first announced the impending retirement of the 80-foot-tall Tree of Lights in a press release on Nov. 20, stating that it was a “mutual decision” between the park and company to retire the tree.
