Lakemore council authorizes mayor to apply for federal STBG funds for resurfacing project
Summary
Council adopted Resolution 7506‑2025 authorizing the mayor to apply for AMATS Surface Transportation Block Grant funds to mill and fill Lake Park, Main and Springfield Lake Drive, a project estimated at $1,169,200.
The Village of Lakemore council on Nov. 3 approved Resolution 7506‑2025 authorizing the mayor to apply for federal Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds programmed by the Akron Metropolitan Area Transportation Study (AMATS) to mill and fill Lake Park, Main and Springfield Lake Drive.
The resolution lists the project name and termini (Sanitarium Road to Canton Road), describes the work as a mill‑and‑fill with a 3‑inch resurfacing and pavement repair, and specifies an estimated project cost of $1,169,200. The village confirmed awareness of AMATS funding policy guidelines and acknowledged that a local match would be required if the grant is awarded.
Council moved and seconded the measure, dispensed with three readings where offered, and adopted the resolution by roll call. The measure was declared an emergency to permit immediate submission of the grant application if two‑thirds of council approved, otherwise it will take effect at the earliest period allowed by law.
What council recorded: The resolution authorizes the mayor to apply for STBG funds for the Lake Park/Main/Springfield Lake Drive resurfacing project and affirms the village’s intent to pursue the project and provide any required local match.
What’s next: Submission to AMATS for consideration; if AMATS programs the project and federal funds are awarded, the village will need to provide a local match and proceed through design, bidding and construction phases.
