Supervisors authorize C2P2 grant application for Tussey Pond Park improvements
Summary
The board approved Resolution 25‑06 authorizing a C2P2 (Community Conservation Partnerships Program) grant application for pier and pathway work at Tussey Pond Park; the grant requires a 50% match and is reimbursement-based with estimated construction costs under $99,000.
Harris Township voted to authorize submission of Resolution 25‑06, which permits staff to apply for a Community Conservation Partnerships Program (C2P2) grant for piers and pathways at Tussey Pond Park.
Staff said the DCNR coordinator recommended the park as a candidate for C2P2 funding. The application is due in early April and requires a 50% local match; the estimated construction cost for the described piers and pathways is just under $99,000. The grant is reimbursement‑based, meaning the township would pay costs up front and request reimbursement after work is completed. Staff noted they would explore other grant possibilities and potential partners to reduce the township match obligation.
Supervisor moved to approve submission of the grant application; motion was seconded and approved by voice vote.
What's next: Staff to assemble required documentation before the grant deadline and to investigate permissible match sources (township labor, partner contributions); if awarded, funds would need to be expended within three years per the grant terms.
