Trustees discuss paving problems, CDBG application and homeowner-planted trees damaging sidewalks

Jul 3, 2025

Trustees reviewed a troubled Black Road paving job and discussed limited CDBG funding for street repairs (about 0.75 mile across eight streets). They asked staff to investigate who installed trees that may be damaging laterals and sidewalks before committing township funds.

A trustee raised concerns about a paving job on Black Road and said a contractor was temporarily shut down by the county; he said he had documented the problem with photos and urged staff to pursue accountability. The trustee also outlined a potential CDBG application to repave roughly 0.75 of a mile across eight named streets but warned the program is income-based and covers only limited lengths.
