Development Of Rolling Hills Park Continues

Peters Township Council continues to move along with the development of Rolling Hills Park. Township Manager Paul Lauer delivered to council good news on bids for a portion of the paving project set to take place later this year. Council and the Peters Township School District budgeted $4,000,000 dollars to build Rolling Hills Drive. A. Liberoni, Inc. bid the project at $2,379,000, saving 1.6 million on the project. Council also approved change orders to HRG Engineering to cover costs of unforeseen design issues during the initial phases of road construction. Those figures totaled $42,900 dollars shared equally with the school district. Council was also updated on recycling efforts in the township. Ninety tons of hazardous and electronic waste was collected by Waste Management as part of the residential trash contract. Additional recycling in the township for cardboard yielded 35 tons of cardboard recycled with the compactor being emptied 8 times. The newest recycling effort is that of glass. A 30 yard container was placed on January 13 of 2020 and it has yielded 13 tons of glass and has been emptied 4 times this year.
