Salem Township approves $340,000 grant agreement for Tower Lane and Apple Lane waterline extension
Summary
The Salem Township Board of Supervisors unanimously approved Resolution 9‑2026 to enter a grant agreement with the Commonwealth Financing Authority for a $340,000 Tower Lane and Apple Lane waterline extension, allowing execution of contracts and next steps on the project.
The Salem Township Board of Supervisors voted unanimously Feb. 18 to approve Resolution 9‑2026, authorizing the township to enter a grant agreement with the Commonwealth Financing Authority for a $340,000 waterline extension project serving Tower Lane and Apple Lane.
The resolution permits township officials to sign grant documents and moves the project from application status to the implementation phase, Kerry Jobe said during the meeting. The money was requested under Pennsylvania’s small water and sewer grant program.
Why it matters: the grant funds would support extensions of public water to parts of the township that currently lack service, which can affect public health, fire protection and future development capacity. Approving the resolution is a procedural but essential step that enables contracting and schedule work to proceed.
Board actions and follow up: Supervisors approved the resolution unanimously and recorded it as Resolution 9‑2026. Next steps include finalizing grant documents, coordinating engineering and contractor selection, and complying with grant reporting and procurement rules. The Board did not specify an exact project timeline at the meeting.
Votes at a glance: the motion to approve Resolution 9‑2026 passed 3–0 (Kerry Jobe, Bob Zundel, Todd Paulich voting in favor).
The Board placed the related item on its agenda and will proceed with the administrative steps required to execute the grant agreement.
