Board authorizes application for $2.46M sidewalk grant; district to provide 25% match
Summary
The board approved a resolution to apply for a DCED sidewalk grant to replace sidewalks across the district; the application lists a grant figure and requires an approximately 25% local match. The superintendent and business official were authorized to execute documents.
The Mill Creek Township School District board adopted a resolution June 22 authorizing an application for a sidewalk grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) and empowered district officials to execute documents related to the grant.
Mister O'Toole explained the scope and cost: "This would be to redo all the sidewalks across the district," and said the project would require a district contribution of 25%. He referenced a total cost figure of $2,400,000 while the grant amount was also referenced in materials as $2,462,790. The board did not reconcile that difference on the record but approved the resolution and authorized Mister O'Toole and Dr. Kavanaugh to execute all documents related to the application.
The resolution passed by voice vote. The board's authorization enables staff to complete and submit the application and to finalize any required local-match arrangements if the grant is awarded. The board did not vote on a specific funding source for the 25% match during the meeting.
Next steps noted in the meeting: staff were authorized to file grant documents and proceed with the application process; no additional action or funding appropriation was adopted at the June 22 session.
