New Castle Council Delays Demolitions Amid Budget Gap
New Castle City Council postponed awarding contracts to demolish 15 properties after bids exceeded the budget by about 5000 dollars. Seigel Excavating won a 56600 dollar contract to demolish 10 houses with city funds, while 15 more were to be funded by block grants for low income areas. The panel will decide whether to remove one house or shift funds to cover the shortfall. The council also advanced Riverwalk project planning and secured multiple grants for infrastructure, recycling, and hazard mitigation.

City debates road bond to fund street improvements
At a council meeting Mastrangelo warned a $4 million bond cannot cover 100 miles of paved streets given a $200,000 per mile repair cost. He projected a $20 million need and questioned feasibility under the Act 47 exit plan. A future Aug 25 briefing is planned with Act 47 coordinator Gordon Mann.
