Resident urges district to pursue DEP construction grant and asks for clarity on Brandywine View LERDA timeline
Summary
A public commenter encouraged the Coatesville Area School District to pursue Department of Environmental Protection construction grants and asked the board for a timeline and clarity on its position regarding the Brandywine View LERDA request.
During public comment, Lori Shannon Bailey urged the district to pursue available Department of Environmental Protection construction grants and said she found a recent DEP award total of $1,173,789 notable. She encouraged staff to attend an upcoming DEP webinar on proposal tips and to take advantage of grant funding to reduce taxpayer costs for construction projects.
Bailey also asked the board for a clear timeline and explanation of how the board will decide on a LERDA request related to the Brandywine View development, saying public dialogue on social media had been confusing and suggesting the district hold town-hall style meetings to explain options. She said she would follow up by emailing the board for a definitive answer.
