Council authorizes financing steps and tax-exemption petitions for new municipal complex and police renovations
Summary
Glassport council authorized advertising for financing proposals for police-side renovations at the new municipal complex and permitted MBM to file petitions for tax-exempt status covering the new complex, Senior Center, Patterson Property and Police Station.
Glassport Borough Council voted July 16 to seek financing and pursue tax-exempt status for construction and renovation work tied to its new Municipal Complex and related facilities.
Council approved a motion to advertise for financing proposals specifically for police-department renovations at the new Municipal Complex. The council also authorized MBM to file petitions seeking tax-exempt status for the new complex, the Senior Center, the Patterson Property and the Police Station; both votes passed unanimously, 6-0.
Councilwoman Amy Nabors reported that a pre-construction meeting for renovations to the police side of the borough building occurred on July 12 and that "everything is in order and the work is scheduled to start immediately." The borough also approved an appraisal of 102 Seventh Street (parcel #558-C-201) and authorized advertising sealed bids with no minimum for 509 Seventh Street (parcel #558-C-201), actions related to property disposition and municipal planning.
Solicitor Falco Muscante reported that a public hearing had occurred on a separate simple subdivision of parcels on Washington Boulevard and the council approved that subdivision and authorized officials to sign the drawing.
Next steps identified by council include soliciting financing proposals, processing any MBM petitions for tax-exemption, completing the appraisal of the borough property and proceeding with contractor scheduling as noted in the pre-construction meeting.
