Hawthorne holds public hearing on state open-space grant to replace ballfield bleachers
Summary
The borough opened and immediately closed a public hearing on a 2026 state/county open-space grant application to replace deteriorated ballfield bleachers with ADA-compliant seating; no public commenters spoke during the hearing.
The Hawthorne Borough Council opened a public hearing on its 2026 open-space grant application to replace deteriorated bleachers at a borough ballfield (Block 14, Lot 1) and make the new seating ADA compliant.
The chair described the location (Ryerson Way and Wago Road) and the intended use of state/county open-space funds for bleacher replacement. No members of the public came forward during the hearing; a council motion closed the public comment period and the council recorded that the motion carried.
Why it matters: The project is intended to improve accessibility at a municipal athletic facility and uses dedicated open-space grant funds. The council noted the application is part of routine capital maintenance and compliance with accessibility standards.
What’s next: With the public hearing closed and the application on the record, any required administrative steps to secure state/county open-space grant funding will proceed through the borough’s grant-administration process.
