Fayette County approves McMillen Engineering contract to design 1.5-mile loop at German-Masontown Park
Summary
Commissioners authorized McMillen Engineering to develop land‑development plans for a 1.5‑mile park loop at German‑Masontown Park, funded by a DCED grant; the board also authorized Planning staff to sign in PennDOT’s ECMS for the Sheepskin Trail and bridge projects.
The Fayette County Board of Commissioners on March 19 approved an engineering services agreement with McMillen Engineering to create land-development plans for a proposed 1.5-mile walking loop and hiking trails at German-Masontown Park. The project is to be paid with a Department of Community & Economic Development grant, according to meeting materials.
Commissioner Vince Vicites said the trail project arises from previously developed park master plans that included community input and committee recommendations, and that the walking-loop concept was identified as a priority. The board also authorized Arthur Cappella to sign on behalf of Fayette County in PennDOT's Engineering Construction Management System (ECMS) for the Sheepskin Trail and for several county bridge projects.
The motion to approve McMillen Engineering's agreement passed unanimously. The minutes record the agreement approval and the funding source but do not list a project schedule or contract dollar amount; such details will be managed through Planning, Zoning and Community Development and the grant process.
