By Carla Slavey Commonwealth Journal Jun 4, 2021 Attica Scott One of Somersetâs major downtown projects received attention from a prominent state leader Friday â and not in a positive way. A lot of focus and attention has been given to the proposed University of Somerset over the past few months. Somersetâs mayor, Alan Keck, has been front and center in the public relations and fundraising efforts for the four-year university that is set to go into the former Cundiff Square.
