Lampeter-Strasburg board approves resolution to apply for $2 million grant to replace Lampeter Elementary heat pumps
Summary
The board approved a resolution to apply for a $2,000,000 Public School Facility Improvement Grant to fund a ground‑source heat pump replacement at Lampeter Elementary; the district would need a 25% local match and expects award notifications in September or October.
The Lampeter-Strasburg School District on March 2 approved a resolution to apply for a Public School Facility Improvement Grant requesting $2,000,000 to replace the ground-source heat pump system at Lampeter Elementary.
The treasurer/business officer told the board the project is being submitted as part of the state grant program and explained the application requires a 25% local match. "We're applying for $2,000,000," the treasurer said, adding that the district would not know if it was awarded until likely September or October.
Board members had no substantive questions during the discussion; the resolution to apply was approved by voice vote. If funded, the project would address HVAC infrastructure at Lampeter Elementary and will require the district to plan for the local match portion in future budgets.
Next steps: the business office will submit the application and notify the board when an award decision is announced. If awarded, the district will return to the board with project details, contract recommendations and a plan to cover the match requirement.
