Council accepts expanded TASA grant for Ridge Road stormwater project to reduce borough cost
Summary
PennDOT identified expiring federal funds that would increase an existing grant for the Ridge Road stormwater project from $400,000 to $865,000. Council approved a resolution to accept the additional funds, which will reduce the borough's capital contribution for the project.
Manager Foreman told council PennDOT had identified additional federal funds scheduled to expire and offered to increase the borough's existing grant for the Ridge Road stormwater project from $400,000 to $865,000 if the borough would adopt the grant agreement.
"They're going to increase the grant award from 400,000 up to 865,000 if we're interested in it," Foreman said, describing the opportunity as a way to reduce the borough's own capital needs for the project. Council adopted the resolution enabling the increased award and recorded the vote as unanimous in the transcript.
Council members thanked staff for pursuing the additional grant opportunity and credited staff members and outside partners for the outreach that led to the offer. Staff said accepting the additional funds will reduce the borough capital required for project completion; the project remains subject to standard grant conditions and contract steps.
