Wednesday afternoon, the White Township Supervisors were awarded a grant from the State Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.
The $248,500 grant will be used for work at the Rec Complex that sits on the former site of the Kunkle House. It will include the construction of an indoor/outdoor pavilion, internal walking loop, pedestrian walkway and fishing platform; installation of ADA accessibility items; landscaping; project signs and other related site improvements.
Recreation Director and Facility Manager Ryan Shaffer says that they’ve lost some larger event spaces in the township recently, and they hope to fill the need with this new pavilion.
He added that construction likely won’t begin for a few years.
Supervisors also announced that fall leaf collection for the borough will start October 26th and run the following 5 Mondays (those being the 2nd, 9th, 16th, 23rd and 30th of November.) All leaves must be put into the proper disposal bags and weigh no more than 50 pounds. Residents should put the bags along the road, as collectors will not enter private property to pick them up.
