Greenfield Township Accepts Bid to Pave Several Roads

The Greenfield Township Board of Supervisors accepted a bid to pave several roads in the township at their May 7 meeting. The roads to be paved include Left Hand Gap Road, Railroad Street, Wees Road, and Athletic Field Drive.

The board received two bids for paving. Grannas Bros. submitted a bid of $127,870 and New Enterprise Stone & Lime submitted a bid of $129,774. The board accepted the lower bid.

The township’s highway department will patch and grade the roads before they are paved.

Supervisors approved the naming of three roads adjacent to Hileman Hollow Road. The roads will be named Solar Road, Bank Barn Road, and Noland Drive.

Jordan Oldham, board chair and road foreman, reported that the Claysburg Area Community Park is fully open for summer.

Spray Days will be held at the park on select days during the summer. The program will include activities such as water slides and sprinklers. Supervisors signed off on the events, which will be used to raise money for a Halloween celebration.

Spare playground equipment and a picnic table were installed as new amenities outside of the township-owned Greenfield Community Center.

The board will seek bids to paint parts of the exterior of several township buildings as well as playground equipment at the community park.

The township engineer reported that the Sarah Furnace Mansion redevelopment project is still awaiting permits that will lead to the completion of the land development plan.

The township police department reported receiving 456 calls for service so far in 2024, including 123 calls for service during April.
