Grant denial stalls library plans and sparks community action
The township failed to secure a $237,000 Keystone grant for a library rebuild after finding a damaged building and sewage pipe breakage. Supervisors pledged continued support, earmarking the 474000 project site for the library, and considered a bookmobile while seeking state guidance. They opposed a Route 22 bike bridge, urging alternatives and exploring legal options to block the project.
