Supervisor outlines contractor payment process for township construction loan

During new business the board heard an explanation from Supervisor Richard Tice about how contractor progress payments are handled under the township's construction loan. Tice described a multi-step workflow: contractor documentation is approved by the project's architects, the township and the USDA; a request is then sent to First National Bank (FNB) with similar approvals plus legal sign-off from Solicitor Raymond Bogaty to borrow on the construction loan and fund the FNB checking account; funds are then disbursed to the contractor.
