Carroll Township residents may benefit from a program that funds the repair of paved roads that are impacting waterways within Washington County.
Ashley Wilmont, a representative from Washington County Conservation District explained the program to the Carroll Township Board of Supervisors at the February 2 monthly meeting.
The program, which receives $200,000 annually from gasoline taxes, serves to repair damaged roadways in the county that are potentially causing pollution to waterways.
Previously only applicable to unpaved roads, the funding may now be used on paved roads that are creating water pollution issues.
The supervisors expressed interest in the opportunity and received an application from the representative.
The board also approved the subdivision of two parcels of land necessary for the construction of the new Ringgold Middle School, as well as the final site plan for the Ringgold School District, if all permits are received and recommendations are met.
In other business, resident Maya Patch registered a complaint about a neighboring home housing a large number of birds that are becoming a nuisance to Patch and her neighbor. The house is in disrepair and has been the focus frustration to Patch and the Board of Supervisors for years.
