Council approves Multi‑Modal grant application to fund Fountain Street retaining wall
Summary
Council adopted Resolution No. 773 authorizing submission of a Multi‑Modal grant application to seek additional funding for the Fountain Street Retaining Wall Project; borough staff said the project has a $50,000 county grant and engineers estimate the total cost at $600,000.
Council President Nancy Kovach introduced Resolution No. 773 on July 14, directing the Council President and Borough Manager to prepare and execute documents to submit a Multi‑Modal grant application for the Fountain Street retaining wall project.
Borough Manager C. Michael Foote said the borough has already received a $50,000 grant from Allegheny County and that borough engineers estimated the overall project cost at $600,000. Foote said the resolution authorizes staff to pursue additional grant funding; the motion, moved by J. Emph and seconded by P. Coffey, passed unanimously.
The action leaves the borough positioned to seek state multimodal funding to supplement the county grant; Mr. Foote did not specify a deadline for the application or the exact amount the borough intends to request. The council did not discuss a construction schedule beyond the current engineering estimate.
