CLEARFIELD – Serious work is about to begin at the proposed dog park in Lawrence Township.
At Tuesday’s meeting, Supervisor Jeremy Ruffner said the plans for the dog park, which will be located at the Lawrence Township Recreation Park, are “coming along.”
Ruffner said the committee has been holding regular monthly meetings and the committee is looking to have the proposed area surveyed. Ruffner said there will be “a lot of dirt to move” to make the park into a reality.
However, Ruffner said he would like to begin seeking quotes for fencing. He said with the prices of building materials increasing, he would like to get some prices now, as opposed to waiting until later in the year.
The supervisors passed a motion to get the land surveyed for the dog park committee.
Also, at the meeting, Secretary Barb Shaffner said the township received an ARC grant in the amount of $1.2 million and that the township will be reapplying for a Multi-modal grant through the Department of Community and Economic Development, which they will use for a match to the ARC grant.
In other business, the township voted to approve:
- Applying for an Act 101 902 grant to purchase a new grinder for the compost site.
- Releasing the allocated contributions for the Joseph & Elizabeth Shaw Public Library, the Clearfield Arts Studio Theatre, the Clearfield County SPCA and the Glen Ritchey Volunteer Fire Department.
- Purchasing 100 yards of mulch for the playground at $22 per yard.
- Paying the bills in the amount of $77,051.27.
