Union City Borough Council voted unanimously June 25 to apply for a $400,000 Multimodal Transportation Fund grant to provide additional funds needed to replace the Willow Street bridge. The resolution was moved by Councilor Osborn and seconded by Councilor Kerns and carried without opposition.
The bridge application was presented as part of the borough’s infrastructure priorities for the year. Councilor Osborn framed the measure as necessary to secure enough funding to move the replacement project forward; Councilor Kerns seconded and the council approved the application. Borough Manager Cindy Wells had earlier reported other grant and funding activity, including a $100,000 ECGRA Renaissance Grant received by the borough.
The motion did not include detailed design or construction schedules; council members did not set an effective date for a contract award during the meeting. The council’s approval was limited to submitting the grant application and does not commit local matching funds beyond what was stated in the application materials, which were not detailed during the public meeting.
Next steps: the borough will submit the Multimodal Transportation Fund grant application for the Willow Street bridge and await award notification; any funding award, local match obligations, or contract awards would be reviewed by council at a subsequent meeting.
