HEMPFIELD TOWNSHIP REALLOCATING SURPLUS FUNDS

Officials in Hempfield are reallocating $7.5 million in surplus funds after higher than expected revenues over the past few years.  The Trib reports that at a recent meeting, township supervisors approved using the money to buy public works equipment, pay off fire trucks and to pay for a second road paving project.  Township officials say the additional revenue was because of conservative budgeting and responsible grant management.
