Union City seeks $400,000 Multimodal grant for Willow Street bridge
Summary
The Borough approved a resolution to apply for $400,000 from the Multimodal Transportation Fund to cover additional costs for replacing the Willow Street bridge; Councilor Osborn moved the resolution and Councilor Kerns seconded it, and the motion carried unanimously.
The Union City Borough Council approved a resolution June 25 to submit a $400,000 grant application to the Multimodal Transportation Fund to cover additional funds needed for the Willow Street bridge replacement.
Councilor Osborn moved the resolution and Councilor Kerns seconded it; the motion carried unanimously. Borough officials did not record the total project budget in the minutes but characterized the grant as providing “additional needed funds.”
Borough staff listed the bridge replacement on the agenda as a priority in the public-works program; the Borough Manager and Public Works liaisons are assigned follow-up tasks to prepare and submit the application. The council set a near-term timeline for grant submission and asked administration to return with any matching-fund details and an implementation schedule if the grant is awarded.
The council took no supplemental funding vote beyond the authorization to apply. Next procedural steps in the minutes are for administration to file the application and report back to the council.
