Commissioner Vaughan announced a check presentation to Union Township officials and introduced
supervisor Heather Daerr and stated that supervisor Larry Spahr was in the audience. Redevelopment
Authority of Washington County representative Kerry Fox announced that he had a check to present to
Union Valley Watershed Phase I Project. The project involves the replacement of two existing bridges. The
check award was $150,000.00 and the project came to $149,576.00. There was an issue with having the
bridges delivered, however, they will be delivered in September with completion to be in October.
Union Township supervisor Heather Daerr stated that she was honored to be here and thanked the
