The list for 2007 Projects will be posted in the near future. Please refer back to this page as updates will be added as they become available. Thank you.

 

2006 PROJECTS:

Charles L. Reed Memorial Park: 2006

The Public Works Department will be working at Reed Memorial Park this coming Spring installing running water and electric service to the pavilion and installing water fountains at both athletic fields. Various trail connections will be constructed in the park, including a trail for handicap access from the parking lot to the baseball fields. Steps from the parking lot to the baseball field, security lighting and the overlay of the parking lot will also be included in the work. All the finishing touches at Reed Park are being funded by $70,000 of grant money from DCNR and $5,000 of grant money from DCED. The Township thanks State Representative John W. Fichter and Senator Rob Wonderling for their efforts in obtaining these grants.

 

Kulp Road Pond:2006

As part of the Township Pond Maintenance Program, the Kulp Road Pond will be dredged this upcoming Spring, 2006. This will help to create a healthier, oxygenated pond that will help alleviate the algae growth that was so prevalent in 2005. UPDATE:JULY 31, 2006: Since the preceding information was put on the website, much investigation into the health of the pond has happened. The results of much testing has given the Township other avenues to explore besides dredging, which may not solve the overall problems with the pond. Please be assured that every option will be closely looked at and the best solution chosen. In the meantime, please keep in mind that we have had the pond tested for mosquito larvae and that test was negative. The township would like to thank the residents for their patience.

 

Gruber Road Soccer Field:2006

The Public Works Department will be constructing a small parking lot to service the soccer filed at the corner of Kulp and Gruber Roads this Spring.

 

2004 Spring Projects

The Public Works Department recently improved the culvert at the intersection of Hunsberger Lane and Main Street. A pipe was extended at the road crossing and walls were poured to direct the flow of water. Gabion walls were also installed as an anti-erosion device. Riparian buffer plantings will be installed this fall.

 

Conveyance piping was laid this spring on Bergey Hill to transport water from the irrigation pond at the base of the hill to the golf course.

2005 Summer Project

The Public Works Department is doing the site work for the proposed playground and pavilion at Alderfer Park. A DCNR grant is being utilized for the improvements.
