Jefferson Twp. residents can look forward to municipal building renovations
Jefferson Township will be renovating its municipal building in Eldersville through the Local Share Account of gambling revenues from The Meadows Racetrack & Casino made available for projects at the municipal level in Washington County.
Swede Construction Corp. of Elizabeth, Allegheny County, has been awarded a $56,000 contract to replace the metal roof, the first phase of the project that is slated to be completed this fall. Approved for other phases, which includes interior, exterior, parking lot and sidewalk improvements, was an additional $64,818 which will be administered by the Washington County Redevelopment Authority.
The municipal building houses the township’s offices, road department and public meeting room, which was enlarged about a decade ago, said Brady Mermon Sr., chairman of Jefferson Township board of supervisors, after the county commissioners’ check presentation. The building was constructed in 1957.
