County reports multiple resurfacing projects; staff highlight DOT reimbursement grant on agenda

County public‑works and engineering staff reported the resurfacing of 2.7 miles of Green Village Road in Madison and Chatham has been completed; resurfacing of Lease Hill Road in Harding Township is expected to finish by the end of the week; and work began on the northern 2.5 miles of Berkshire Valley Road in Jefferson, with basin repairs underway. Deputy Director Steven Shaw provided the update during the meeting.

Separately, staff noted Resolution 739 on the meeting agenda is a grant agreement and application for DOT reimbursement related to a roadway collapse (described in the meeting as a “missing road, first floor collapse” reimbursement); staff told commissioners it is important to approve that grant agreement to secure DOT reimbursement. The transcript records that staff highlighted the resolution and anticipated board support.

Commissioners thanked public‑works staff for completing the resurfacing work and noted local traffic benefits. The board moved on to other business and then into executive session; the transcript does not show the roll call or recorded outcome of votes on the specific grant resolution in the public portion of the transcript provided here.
