O’Hara council is seeking more than $770,000 in Allegheny County grants for stormwater projects across the township.
Council green-lighted three applications to the county’s Community Infrastructure and Tourism Fund. They include:
• $250,000 for the Greenwood Cemetery stormwater project.
• $250,000 for the Epsilon Drive work.
• $220,000 for a project along Gamma Drive.
If approved, money would come through the county Redevelopment Authority.
Township Engineer Chuck Steinert said the work at Greenwood Cemetery would alleviate flooding in the lower portion of Seitz Run by retaining and releasing water at a slower rate.

Major buzz is surrounding the opening of Chick-fil-A in O’Hara this week, with hordes of hungry customers clamoring for waffle fries while others are voicing concern about traffic tangles from the fast food hot spot along Freeport Road.
The nation’s top-rated food chain is set to open Thursday in a freestanding store in Fox Chapel Plaza.
The restaurant is expected to create 100 full- and part-time jobs, company representatives said.
Just last week, Chick-fil-A posted an open call on social media to draw job-seekers 16 and older who want to work in the kitchen or with food preparation.
