Board adopts Chester County Hazard Mitigation Plan resolution to preserve FEMA and PEMA grant eligibility
Summary
The board adopted Resolution No. 9 of 2026 adopting the Chester County Hazard Mitigation Plan; staff said adoption preserves eligibility for FEMA and PEMA grants and referenced two local projects in the plan (Old Horseshoe Pike culvert replacement and abutment armoring at Bonnesville Mill East bridge).
The Board of Supervisors voted to adopt Resolution No. 9 of 2026, formally accepting the Chester County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Staff thanked the county and public-works team for contributions and noted that two projects referenced in the plan will improve local resilience: a completed culvert replacement on Old Horseshoe Pike and ongoing armoring of the abutment on the Bonnesville Mill East bridge.
Staff emphasized that adoption does not obligate the township to undertake listed capital projects, but that adoption is necessary to preserve eligibility for certain FEMA and PEMA grant programs. The board voted in favor of the resolution by voice vote.
