Borough moves to secure easements for $300,000 watershed grant; residents to be notified
Summary
Council said a watershed resource project (an MS4-related grant near $300,000) requires signed easements from approximately 10—15 residents; staff will send letters, hold resident meetings and re-submit once easements are secured.
Clarks Summit staff told council the borough is pursuing a watershed resource project tied to MS4 stormwater compliance and potential grant funding in the neighborhood of $300,000. Staff said the application earlier failed when needed easements were not processed; the current submission requires signed easements from roughly 10 to 15 property owners (exact number not specified) before the grant can be closed.
Council and staff agreed to send letters to affected properties and to host a public meeting to explain the easement process and benefits. Staff said the easements are already drafted and that mailed notices will describe the project and how the work would reduce local flooding impacts.
Council members noted the deadline for the grant round and asked staff to prioritize outreach so the borough can meet the submission date; staff said they would send materials and follow up with residents.
What happens next: staff will mail easement letters to affected residents, schedule a public information meeting, and submit signed easements to meet the grant closing date.
