Belpre outlines multiple grant applications, OPWC road request denied
Summary
City officials reported a slate of grant applications — an EPA lead-line survey (due Dec. 20), emergency generator and water-loss grants — and said an OPWC roads matching request would not be funded; accepting it would have required $420,000 in local matching funds.
At the Dec. 9 Belpre City Council meeting, Mayor Abdella summarized active grant work including an EPA lead line survey (the city received an acknowledgement form and the work is required by year end), an emergency generator grant, a source-water protection grant, a well-abandonment grant, and a water-audit/water-loss-control grant. She said the EPA submission is due Dec. 20 and warned the council the survey will require substantial staff work.
Mayor Abdella also reported that the city would not receive an OPWC roads matching grant because the funding pool could not cover Belpre's request; she said accepting the award would have required the city to pay a total match of $420,000. Council discussed focusing paving on the most critical streets (Lee and Maple) and will explore alternative options and funding sources.
