Slippery Rock Township might be looking at some new options other than roadwork for some of its state money.

Slippery Rock Township might be looking at some new options other than roadwork for some of its state money.

The township receives money each year for qualifying for the state's Community Development Block Grant Entitlement Program, which encourages improvements that both help low-to-moderate income residents and making the community nicer.

Rick Grossman, a consultant for the township, said in recent year, the money has focused on road projects that would affect those in low-to-moderate income residents.

“We're running out of road reconstruction projects,” Grossman said. “So, we're just looking at some new projects.”

Grossman said the amount of the grant varies year to year, but he said it usually hovers near $100,000.

Two of the options presented at Monday's supervisors meeting included a housing rehabilitation program and slum blight eradication.

The supervisors agreed at Monday's meeting to continue discussing the future of the grant funds at the next meeting, Oct 1.
