Carroll Township supervisors announced Thursday they will retain the services of a new engineering firm.
Greentree-based Gannett Fleming is slated to be the township’s new engineering firm through the rest of the year. Supervisors said the township’s previous firm, Widmer Engineering, lost a large portion of its staff.
Supervisors said Gannett Fleming has performed engineering duties for the township’s sanitary sewer collection system for the past 40 years.
The new firm will have two projects to look at that were discussed by supervisors Thursday.
Hampton Road residents would like the township to pave the road, saying garbage trucks have caused potholes so large that the road can’t be cleaned with a snowblower.
“We have to see if that actually is a public road or not,” Supervisor Ken Hillman said. “We’re going to go through the deed research to see if that’s a public road or if that’s just an easement that is an ingress or egress back through there. If it’s not a public road, then I don’t think there’s anything we can do with it. If it is a public road, then we’ll have to address it.”
