When: Elizabethtown Borough Council meeting, April 1, in person.
What happened: Council discussed a variety of infrastructure projects planned for the coming years and the possible funding sources for each, with federal grants and one-time stimulus funding being the most likely.
Funding: The borough has applied for Community Development Block Grant funding through the Department of Housing and Urban Development. Meanwhile, the borough is waiting to see about possible earmarked funds from U.S. Department of Agriculture grant programs through Congress.
Background: Due to the budget impact of the COVID-19 and construction restrictions imposed by the pandemic last year, work on sewer and sidewalk projects within the borough were either postponed or pushed back. This included work on sanitary sewer replacement on both Groff Avenue and College Avenue.
