Township staff to pursue state LSA grant to replace municipal complex roofs
Summary
Staff proposed applying to the Commonwealth Financing Authority’s Local Share Account for roof replacement work at municipal complex; council supported pursuing the grant and staff will provide formal cost estimates.
Hampton Township staff told council on Oct. 8 they plan to apply to the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Financing Authority’s Local Share Account (LSA) grant program to fund replacement of one or possibly two roofs at the municipal complex.
Staff said facilities director JR Young identified the municipal complex roofs as high-priority capital needs during recent strategic planning, and noted the LSA program has historically funded similar roof projects in the region. Ryan (no last name provided) said staff expect to submit an application in the range of $500,000 but will provide finalized contractor estimates and a memo to council by the end of the following week.
Staff told council they will attempt to bundle multiple roof projects in the application to maximize the grant funds. Council members did not object and staff said they would continue work on estimates and move forward with the application process.
Clarifying details provided in the meeting: staff expect finalized quotations from facilities staff by the end of the week and estimated application amount at about $500,000 pending official quotes.
