SOUTHINGTON — Improvements and other work will be done this year at the township hall, road department and 1907 building using American Rescue Plan funds received by the township.

Township trustees approved KL Woodworking and Remodeling LLC of Southington to do the three projects.

Trustee Chairman Charles Hagman said work at the township hall includes new flooring, ceiling and wall repair work, window replacement and interior painting at a cost not to exceed $25,000.

The street department garage / storage building will have siding work on the garage door and trimming around the door at a cost of $15,000.

Exterior maintenance, woodworking and painting also will be done on the 1907 building, which is a former school and is used by the township for storage. That price tag is $32,000.

Also approved was U.C. Graphics and Safety Products for graphics and lettering for the new ambulances not to exceed $6,000. Hagman said the ambulance was purchased with ARP funds approved by the Trumbull County commissioners.

Trustees are seeking a total of $16,500 for that work. Being sought are a Go Green grant, scrap tire grant and dropoff improvement grant.
