Repairs to Perrysville Sidewalks to Begin This Week

A project to repair about 4,200 square feet of damaged sidewalks in Perrysville along Perry Highway will begin this week, weather permitting, according to Ross Township engineer Art Gazdik. 

The work will begin at Lindley Lane and Perry Highway and move south toward , ending at 970 Perry Highway. 

The work crews also will add a handicap ramp near Good Lane and plant  Gingko Biloba trees along the sidewalks. 

A U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development grant awarded to the township from the 2009 federal budget is funding the work. The grant money, $142,500, was awarded instead of the $1 million the township requested for more comprehensive improvements to the Perrysville business area. 

Gazdik told the Perrysville Business Assocation last summer that the repairs being performed this week are the best use of the money that the government allocated.
