Quincy supervisors authorize grant applications and approve retroactive PennVest letter
Summary
The Quincy Township Board of Supervisors on May 4 approved a retroactive PennVest Letter of Responsibility, adopted a resolution to apply for a DCNR planning grant for Heritage Park, and approved a supplemental DCED grant application; administrators reported a separate DCED grant contract for a bulk water station.
The Quincy Township Board of Supervisors approved multiple funding actions during its May 4 meeting, including a retroactive Letter of Responsibility for a PennVest application and two grant applications aimed at park and water infrastructure. The board voted unanimously on the funding items except where noted.
Administrator Ken Myers said the board approved an updated Letter of Responsibility for the PennVest application retroactive to April 28; the motion (moved by Vice Chairman Nelson Egolf, seconded by Chairman Alan Peck) carried unanimously. The supervisors also adopted Resolution 2026-07 authorizing a DCNR Community Recreation & Conservation Planning Grant application for Heritage Park improvements (motion moved by Supervisor Josh Peters, seconded by Vice Chairman Nelson Egolf) and approved a supplemental DCED grant application for the same Heritage Park project under Resolution 2026-08 (motion Peters/Egolf), both carried unanimously.
Myers additionally reported that the township has received a signed grant contract from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a Bulk Water Station project; he said he will meet with Bob Schemmerling to determine next steps. Myers said Schemmerling had suggested a package station that could be purchased through a CoStars contractor with equipment supplied and piping installed by township staff, and that this remains a possibility as the project moves forward.
The board’s actions formalize the township’s pursuit of state grant resources to support Heritage Park improvements and water infrastructure. The PennVest action updates the township’s commitment for an unspecified PennVest financing application; the minutes list the item as approved retroactively to April 28. No dollar amounts for the grants or PennVest financing were specified in the minutes.
