Council accepts increased TASA grant for Ridge Road stormwater and advances capital projects
Summary
Council voted to accept an expanded federal/TASA grant that increases funding for the Ridge Road stormwater project from about $400,000 to $865,000, reducing local capital needs; engineers also reported additional stormwater and paving projects in the pipeline.
Council authorized acceptance of additional federal funds for the Ridge Road stormwater project after PennDOT identified expiring federal dollars usable for a project at the right stage.
Ms. Foreman explained PennDOT offered to increase the grant award from $400,000 up to $865,000 for Ridge Road, which will reduce the borough's capital contribution. Council approved a resolution to accept the grant increase. Engineer Mattson also described two stormwater projects in the north of town (one under budget) and identified candidate streets for local paving funded from liquid fuels (gas tax).
Council noted coordination needs with PennDOT and utility work (PECO, Aqua) that can affect construction phasing. The increase in grant funding was presented as a timely opportunity to advance a high-priority flood-control project and reduce borough expenditure.
