Members of the Hopewell Township Committee have adopted a $3.5 million bond ordinance that includes money for the 2018 road program, and equipment purchases for the Department of Public Works and the police department.
Committee members took the action on April 23.
The bond ordinance allocates $2.69 million for the road program. The money will pay for work on Brandon Road West and Treymore, Voorhees, Bollen, Pebble Creek and Shrewsbury courts in the Brandon Farms development.
There is money appropriated for improvements to Burd and Reed roads, plus design work for Bull Run Road and Denow Road.
The bond ordinance earmarks money to buy a dump truck and other trucks for the Department of Public Works. It also sets aside money to buy a leaf collector, a brush chipper and related equipment for the department.
The police department will be able to buy a four-wheel-drive vehicle and assorted equipment, including radar units for patrol cars and digital cameras for the Detective Bureau. A breath-test machine also will be purchased.
