We are pleased to announce that a competitive multi-municipal grant application submitted to SPC has been approved for funding.
This project will convert traffic signals to LED technology along the Route 30 corridor from Forest Hills through North Versailles, saving 80% in energy costs as well as maintenance and replacement costs. The grant will also provide coordinated signal timing along the corridor, as well as emergency pre-emption technology.
Thanks to all who helped put together this grant application!

NEW Vacant Property Assessment Project
|
| The Local Government Academy has agreed to help fund a summer intern for the TCVCOG through their intern program. Kyle Ross will be working with our towns to assemble data on vacant commercial and industrial property. Data to be assembled may include lot & block, general location & lot size, owner of record, tax info, prior use/history of contamination, structure size (if applicable), availability of utilities, transportation access, etc. This data may be used for marketing purposes and to apply for future grant funding. |
