Okay, here's the idea. I have seen several stimulus initiative stories. Anybody else have any knowledge of bailout money on the way to MW PA?
Community Action Partnership of Mercer County: $5,231,678 for a weatherization program.
$660,000 for a bridge replacements in Townville and Cranberry Township. in Crawford County
$2,213,188 for resurfacing Route 77 in Crawford County
What else is in the works?

to be honest i have no idea, i work with brad roe's (pa rep) cousin, i will find out what i can...
meanwhile.. found this, you can click on the county maps http://www.recovery.pa.gov/portal/server.pt?open=514&objID=504968&mode=2
i decided not to complain :D
bighair80s:
ok, today just a hop-skip and jump from me they were tearing up the curbs for the curb project as mentioned on the above website.. i happened to notice that the company doing it, all the trucks had ohio plates and sure enough the website did say it was an ohio company. the Joe Lofaro Concrete co and the contract is for $541,180, that is a lot of local clam$ going to an out of state company. i dont want to sound like a complainer
(edit to cut out complaining as i said i was not going to ) :D
is it just low bid or how are these contracts awarded? i would have thought it would make sense to keep the local work force employed?? or at least someone in pennsylvania for pete's sake!! perhaps i do not understand the way the govt works. likely i do not want to...
E-L Man:
BH,,, they just don't get it! These local officials can't see the forrest for the trees! >:(
Jayhawk:
11 people fulltime for 6 months to repaint "RAILROAD CROSSING AHEAD" throughout mercer county? How many crossings can we possibly have, and why would it take more than 2 people at any one time to get the job finished in 1/6th that time?
