Strasburg council authorizes up to $3.8 million for new community center contract
Summary
The Strasburg Village Council unanimously authorized up to $3.8 million for a community center contract on April 7, 2026, and discussed associated fundraising and grant applications including a $150,000 private donation and multiple grant submissions.
The Strasburg Village Council on April 7 authorized up to $3.8 million to contract construction of a new community center after a motion by Lewis Dreher, seconded by Martin Zehnder, passed by roll call.
Village Administrator Mike Rosenberry reported the village is pursuing several funding avenues tied to the project: a $2.25 million grant application for the Bodmer Waterline project, a submission to the 136th Capital Budget seeking $750,000 in support for the community center, and a $150,000 donation pledged by Mickey Mart. Rosenberry also said the village is working on related design work for a wastewater treatment plant expansion that would be submitted under an Economic Development Administration grant.
Council members did not record dissent on the contract authorization motion. Dreher moved the authorization and Zehnder seconded it; the motion passed by roll call. Rosenberry said the village would continue pursuing grants and private donations to offset construction costs.
The council’s vote authorizes staff to proceed with contract negotiations and procurement steps up to the authorized amount; council did not specify a contract awardee or a construction timeline during the meeting.
