Supervisors approve $500,000 grant application to repair two bridges.

Written by Bethani Cameron

As part of ongoing infrastructure needs, supervisors approved a resolution to pursue $500,000 in funding to renovate the Kelly Hollow and Rippel Road bridges.

Cline said the township had previously applied for funds from the Gaming Economic Development and Tourism Fund (GEDTF), but was advised by State Senator Nick Pisciottano that the application would not be approved as those funds had been exhausted. Pisciottano urged the township to apply for a state multimodal grant, which supports transportation infrastructure projects.

Cline said the township will be able to adapt much of the application for GEDTF to apply for the multimodal funds.
