Dale Spaulding, 2) approved the Historical Architectural Review Board Certificates of appropriateness for 11 West Main Street for a sign and lights and for 206 West Main Street’s suggested wood portion of fence to be the same material as the rest of the fence, and 3) approved the payment of the bills.
The Borough Manager’s written report was received and accepted. The report contained updates on the following items: 1) The stormwater project is 2/3 complete and work is progressing on South Decatur Street. 2) Bids have been received for the Eshelman Run Phase II project which will be acted upon by the Authority. 3) We have received $96,123.91 in interest so far this year. 4) The temporary traffic signal post at the Square was struck again by a tractor trailer on June 3, 2026 and the claim has been approved by the insurance company.
