Township approves Local Share grant application to buy F-350, dismantle Trading Post
Summary
Watson Township authorized submission of a $76,202.76 Local Share grant to fund demolition of the Trading Post building and purchase of a Ford F-350 with snow-removal equipment; Supervisor Macklem was designated to execute grant documents.
Watson Township’s Board of Supervisors voted Sept. 19 to submit a Statewide Local Share Assessment Grant application for $76,202.76 to fund two capital projects: demolish the existing “Trading Post” building and construct a garage, and purchase a Ford F-350 truck equipped for snow removal. Chairman James Seltzer made the motion to submit the application and designate Supervisor Richard Macklem to execute grant documents; Supervisor James Potter seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
Roadmaster Richard “Rick” Macklem had proposed the projects at the meeting, describing the Trading Post building footprint as roughly 48½ feet by 44½ feet and noting the township’s need for a heavy truck with a stainless-steel salt spreader to improve winter maintenance. The board’s action formally authorizes staff to file the zero-match DCED Local Share application and gives Macklem authority to sign required agreements if the award is offered.
