At its Oct. 1, 2025 workshop meeting, the Borough Council of Carlisle approved a set of administrative and planning actions: a resolution authorizing submission of an application to the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) for a Local Share Account Category 4 grant of up to $200,000 to fund the construction of 88 accessible ramps throughout the borough, and time-extension requests for two subdivision plans.
Grant application: A councilor moved that the borough approve a resolution authorizing submission of an application to the Commonwealth Financing Authority, Category 4, for an amount not to exceed $200,000 to be used for construction of 88 accessible ramps throughout the borough. The motion was seconded and passed by voice vote. The motion text specified the grant program and maximum amount; no ordinance or contract number was provided on the record.
Subdivision time extensions: Council approved two time-extension requests for subdivision/land-development approvals pursuant to the borough’s Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance §226-21. The first extension, requested by Brehm Lebo Engineering on behalf of Hidden Meadows of Carlisle LLC for Lots X and 22 in Hidden Meadows Phase 2, extended the deadline by 90 days to Jan. 6, 2026. The second extension, requested by Brehm Lebo Engineering on behalf of Karen E. and Mark H. Mallon for property at 808 Walnut Lane, extended the deadline to Dec. 31, 2025.
