Glassport council approved an agreement Tuesday with the Allegheny County Intermediate Unit to provide a Head Start program at the Glassport Borough Recreation Center. The program is expected to begin in September. 

Plans are moving forward for improvements to Ninth Street Park. Phase I improvements will be completed with the help of a $50,000 grant from the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources.  

Phase I improvements include a children’s playground and pavilions. Construction is expected to begin this summer, according to councilman Dennis Hickman.

Dave Lucchesi of Mon Valley A.B.A.T.E. addressed council on the possibility of creating a motorcycle and ATV park in the borough.  The proposed site would be a 125-acre municipal property at a former garbage dump.
