CLEARFIELD – On Tuesday the Clearfield County Commissioners moved forward with a project that would help house equipment used by the county’s community service program. The commissioners unanimously approved advertising contstuction bids.
At a prior meeting, it was announced the facility will be located near the Clearfield 911 building on Leonard Street. For most part, the facility will be housing for the maintenance and lawn equipment used by the juveniles and adults in the program, said Probation Director Don McClusick.
According to him, the facility will measure 54 feet by 40 feet, which includes 12 feet by 30 feet storage wings on either side. For cost-saving purposes, he said it will be a single-story facility, but he wasn’t certain of the building’s exact height measurements.
“It’s going to be built at no cost to the taxpayers,” McClusick said, adding the construction costs will be kept under $25,000. When asked, Commissioner Joan Robinson-McMillen said the facility will have electricity and a water hook-up for hoses.
McClusick said during the summer months, juveniles and adults mow little league fields, cemeteries, church yards and at Curwensville Lake for community service projects. In addition, their service projects include detailing the county vehicles.
