Poland trustees take action on several projects

POLAND

Township trustees are moving forward on several projects.

The board voted Wednesday to award an $18,500 contract to Everbrite Power Sweeping for street-sweeping that is set to take place on township and village roads within the next several weeks. Road Superintendent Tom Monus urged the board to take action on this so road crews can begin hot-patching potholes as soon as possible.

Trustees are in the process of putting together a “wish list” of roads to pave and encouraged residents to get in touch with them about problem areas.

Trustees also began preparations for next year’s winter weather. They voted to participate in the Ohio Department of Transportation’s summer salt-purchasing program. Through that program, communities typically get road salt at cheaper rates than if they wait until later in the year when salt is in high demand.

The township awarded another contract to Master Renovations Inc. for demolition of a vacant house at 2273 Clyde St. that burned last year.
