The North East Township supervisors approved the 2015 budget at a meeting at 10AM on Tuesday, December 30th. Supervisors also fixed the tax rate for the coming year with no tax increase.
After Hill Engineering reviewed the waterline project bids opened on December 23rd and checking bidder references, the low bidder, Mortimer's Excavating, was awarded the project for the base bid of $478,279. The township is still waiting for the permit necessary to cross 20 mile creek and an easement on the north side of Route 5 in the same area, however work will be starting in all other areas as soon as possible.
