Council discusses appraisal of Hauto Village park acreage for DCNR grant

The Borough of Nesquehoning's Aug. 29 meeting recorded a new-business item proposing an appraisal of more than 40 acres for the newly established Hauto Village community park to support a DCNR grant application.

The minutes state: "Appraisal of 40+ acres of the newly established Hauto Village community Park for DCNR Grant." No funding amounts, appraisal timeline, or required match were included in the minutes. The water-department transition update immediately preceding new business noted property-deed matters tied to dissolution of the Authority, suggesting the land-title work is connected to park planning and grant eligibility.

Residents or stakeholders seeking details on the appraisal scope, appraisal firm, grant timeline or potential match requirements should contact borough staff or the borough solicitor for documentation not included in the meeting minutes.
