Funding Featured In Peters Township

Peters Township Council had funding as its theme on Monday night. Council adopted the 2023 budget with no tax increase for the second year in a row. According to Township Manager Paul Lauer the $27 million budget will be increasing payroll by adding two firemen and three school resource officers. It will also totally reconstruct Longvue Drive, a road adopted in the 1970’s that once completed will meet township road standards. Council also was paid a visit by Representative Natalie Mihalek. She brought with her a $650,000 Redevelopment Capital Assistance Program grant. That matching grant will be dedicated to improvements at baseball fields 1 and 2 at Peterswood Park. Improvements include new dugouts, press boxes, lighting and a synthetic turf infield.
