Silver Creek Township approves $500,000 in proposed 2025 road engineering
Summary
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors on Nov. 7 approved proposed 2025 road engineering allocations totaling $500,000 — $360,000 for asphalt and $140,000 for chip seal — and directed maintenance to contact the engineer and proceed with next steps.
The Silver Creek Township Board of Supervisors approved proposed 2025 road engineering allocations totaling $500,000 at its Nov. 7 meeting, voting 5‑0 to proceed with engineering for $360,000 in asphalt work and $140,000 in chip‑seal work.
The allocation was advanced by Supervisor Ryan Nelson, seconded by Vice Chairman Brandon Geyen, and carried unanimously. The board instructed maintenance staff to move forward by contacting the township engineer to begin planning and scheduling.
Why it matters: the funds earmarked for engineering are the first explicit step toward next year’s road program. The board’s vote authorizes staff to proceed with engineering work; any later construction contracts, bid awards, or schedules will be brought back to the board for approval as required.
The board also noted related maintenance planning underway, including a county grant previously received for a separate Gowan Avenue project and ongoing work to coordinate culvert replacement on 134th Street; those items were discussed separately during the meeting. The motion to approve the 2025 engineering amounts was recorded as carried 5‑0.
Next steps: maintenance will contact the township engineer to finalize scopes and timelines; construction and final budget decisions will follow later in the township’s project process.
