Glassport lists properties in land bank and reports $850,000 from state representative for building renovations
Summary
Borough Manager Elaina Skiba reported a land-bank inventory of properties and said a $1 million Local Share Account grant application was submitted; Representative Nick Pisciottano secured $850,000 to support renovations on the borough's new building.
Borough Manager Elaina Skiba updated council on the borough’s land bank inventory and grant-seeking efforts at the Nov. 19 meeting.
Skiba listed multiple properties currently in the land bank or acquired at sheriff sale and said a state grant application for $1 million from the Local Share Account Fund has been submitted. She also said that State Representative Nick Pisciottano was able to secure $850,000 to continue renovations and updates to the borough’s new building.
Skiba thanked the representative in the minutes: “Thank you to our State Representative Nick Pisciottano who was able to secure us $850,000 for continued renovations and updates to our new building.” The minutes do not include grant conditions or a funding schedule; the borough labeled the grant application as submitted and indicated additional acquisition and sheriff-sale activity for specific addresses.
The minutes list properties currently being marketed and those acquired or awaiting sheriff sale; council voted to list 102 Seventh Street with Neighborhood Realty Services after no bids were received. The minutes do not provide a timetable for renovation work tied to the $850,000 funding.
