Resident asks why Central Drive storm sewer grant failed and requests written plan B

At the meeting Paula Dreher urged the Board for clarity on the status of the Central Drive storm sewer project, asking how recently the Township learned the second grant application had been denied and why affected residents were not notified. She pressed whether alternative funding sources such as PENNVEST or DCED had been explored and requested the Township issue a letter to affected residents with answers.

Township Manager David G. Kraynik told Dreher the second grant application was recently denied. The Board did not announce a specific alternate funding commitment at the meeting; Dreher asked whether funds previously budgeted for the project would remain sufficient as delays continue. The item remains at the discussion and follow‑up stage: Dreher requested written responses and a timeline for next steps.
