OWDA delays Sewer Plant Loan Consideration

Application Originally was to be Considered on 12/11/03

We were notified yesterday that the Ohio Water Development Authority (OWDA).....WILL NOT.... be considering the City of Pickerington's Water Pollution Control Fund Loan Fund application at the December meeting scheduled for December 11, 2003.

The OWDA board meets monthly and may consider such funding in the future.

No reason was given for this delay in the communique we received. Citizens have actively sought to delay this funding award until the new council is seated and may reconsider the nature of the sewer plant expansion and associated purchase of Hickory Lakes. Rita Ricketts filed a referendum on the ordinace authorizing the city manager to apply for the loan with more than 500 signatures last week.
