Council Meeting Update / Other . . .

A few items of interest from last night's council meeting:

1. ROAD PAVING PROJECT: The Borough received two bids for the road paving project to rehabilitate the back streets (Green, West, etc.). The bids were:

- Muschlitz Construction - $120,404.40
- Lehigh Valley Site Contractors - $99,481

The contract was awarded to Lehigh Valley Site Contractors. This will be funded through a grant that the Borough received from the Monroe County Gaming Commission. I don't yet have a start date - but it needs to be finished before October 15th. As soon as I get additional information, I'll keep you posted.

2. MAIN STREET BRIDGE PROJECT: According to the contractor, the anticipated start date is on or about 9/20/2011. Again, as we get closer to the date I hope to have additional information for you.

3. NORTH TATAMY - METZ PARK: It was brought to Council's attention last night that the basketball courts at Metz Park are in need of rehabilitation. We will be investigating the cost and options to repair the court, and hope to have additional information at next month's meeting.

And now for "Other . . ."

As most of you probably know by now, there is a massive fire burning at Nicos Polymers in Plainfield Township this morning. Our very own Tatamy Fire Company was spotted there - photo courtesy to Nazareth Patch (Mallory Vough). Stay safe guys!
