Township Chief Administrative Officer, Christie Alexander, read the lengthy report which cited the accomplishments of the township in the past three years.
One of the highlights of the report was the list of grants received by the municipality, totaling $5,715,011. The biggest single grant, worth $4,250,172, covered the waste water treatment plant, scheduled to be completed by 2011. The township is on the hook for the remaining $1,375,000 to be paid from a recently negotiated low-interest loan.
The most recent grant of $424,932 is being spent on the township industrial park. Construction is currently underway on Purdy Rd. The Apple Blossom Tyme Festival was the recipient of the smallest amount, collecting $1,066 from the Northumberland Community Futures Development Corporation.
In her report, Ms. Alexander named several roads and bridges which have been repaired or improved. Improvements in the installation and removal of ice at the Keeler Centre were also listed, as well the renovations completed on the Castleton Town Hall.
Gateway and community identifier signs were among the accomplishments of the Community Development Officer, Rebecca Goddard-Sarria. The township claims to have made efforts to improve relations with its downtown merchants and township businesses.
The township also claims to have made progress in “greening” the community and in efficiency of its operations.
