Gettysburg to challenge PennDOT bid for street work
Gettysburg Borough will contest a PennDOT demand to advertise for competitive bids on 179 400 in federal highway construction work. Mayor Groft says the borough canceled a 179.60 federal aid grant due to nonmatching funds and plans to fund the project itself, hoping to stretch the money further by bypassing state mandates. The council also approved purchasing a Cushman three wheeler for meter monitoring at 3911 net after trade-in, rejected repairing the old vehicle, and moved to cooperate on a bicycle safety registration program.
