Four construction companies placed bids today for new basketball and volleyball courts in Tatamy Borough.

The borough council will choose one of the bids at its May 5 meeting. Construction is expected to start next month and last about 30 days or less, officials said.

The lowest bid, placed by Forks Township-based Pan Companies, was $27,306. The other bids went as high as $36,000.

The courts will be built on High Street, just behind the Hope Lutheran Church and about two blocks from the borough municipal building, Councilman William Belkey said.

The new courts will replace a basketball court behind the municipal building, which was removed last year to make way for a new storage building, he said.

In addition to basketball and volleyball, the courts will include playground equipment and a handicap accessible walkway around the parameter of the area.

The borough received a $48,000 grant from the state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources for the courts. Remaining money will be used on playground equipment and other costs, Belkey said.


I ask all of you who are interested in this exciting development to come to the Council Meeting and get the latest information.
