AVOCA — The borough community center has been in need of a new roof for quite some time, and council members are hoping to resolve that issue soon.
At the monthly council meeting Tuesday night, it was announced that council members would submit an LSA Grant application for a new roof and some other things the center needs.
“Most urgent is a new roof,” said council President John Boone. “It’s probably close to 10 years beyond its life span. It’s got some issues with drainage and that’s what we put in for our request.”
Boone said the center, which sits at 800 Main St., is also in need of a new scoreboard and other general repairs.
He said the LSA Grants will be awarded in the summer.
In other business, council members:
• Made a donation of $75 to the Avoca Basketball League to sponsor a team.
• Made a donation of $50 to the Avoca/Dupont Little League to sponsor a team.
• Made a donation of $100 to the Dupont Borough Centennial Committee.
• Purchased a new street department dump truck for $42,667.
