Union City Borough Council unanimously voted to apply for a $400,000 grant from the Multimodal Transportation Fund to help pay for replacement of the Willow Street bridge. Councilor Osborn moved to pass the resolution and Councilor Kerns seconded; the motion carried without objection.
The resolution directs borough staff to pursue the grant application to provide additional funds needed for the bridge replacement project. Council members did not record a debate on alternative funding sources during the motion; councilors present approved the measure by unanimous vote.
The approval comes as part of the borough’s broader 2024 infrastructure work, which includes recently completed paving projects handled by Cross Paving and Suit-Kote. The council did not set an expected construction start date in the meeting record and directed follow-up as necessary once grant outcomes are known. The council will consider solicitor and administrative steps if the grant is awarded.
