Request Overview:

The community is requesting $1,485,000 (55%) of the total estimated project cost.  The remaining portion will be covered by state and local sources and local user fees.

Project Description:

Proposed 12” interceptor is planned to tie US 224 into the existing Struthers WWTP providing access to sanitary sewer for existing structures and enabling access to sanitary sewer for commercial development in Poland Township. The project will also provide for orderly residential and commercial growth within the Struthers Yellow Creek Watershed.   The total project encompasses 7.1 mile, running from Arrel Smith Road (Lowellville Road to US 224) and US 224 (Clingan Road east to Struthers Road.)

Estimated Project Cost:                                       $2.7 million

Economic Impact:

The project would allow for continual economic development along the US 224 corridor in Poland Township to the PA. Line. The results of a survey completed by the Mahoning County Board of Health of the existing dwelling units along the routing illustrated numerous malfunctioning septic systems and off lot discharge systems.  As stated, the entire service area is within the Yellow Creek Watershed, a major tributary of the Mahoning River.
