MINERAL RIDGE — Weathersfield Township trustees will submit an application for a $180,000 grant for the first phase of a safety upgrade on Seaborn Street.
The work would be paid for through the Ohio Public Works Program’s 2009 Issue 1 project funds.
The trustees, at their meeting tonight, also designated MS Consultants Inc. of Youngstown as project manager. The township’s share of the grant would be $25,680 if it is approved next year by the Ohio Public Works Commission.
The Seaborn work is part of a planned three-phase project to include sidewalk repair, new sidewalk installation, and road upgrades on Seaborn and Union streets, which border Mineral Ridge High School.
Project plans are to improve the roadway around the high school and extend sidewalks past the first 300 yards at the top of Seaborn, which runs in front of the high school.
