Award Description: High Avenue will be reconstructed from Old Welsh Road to Hamilton Avenue. The reconstruction will include curbs and handicapped ramps. The project will prevent flooding and damage to private property by directing storm water away from homes. the project will also help the Township meet its epa/dep MP3 goals of reducing sediment from flowing into the Sandy Run Creek. High Avenue is the border between two Census Tract Block Groups, C.T. 2016.03, B.G.3 and C.T. 2016.03, B.G.4. These two Block Groups contain the highest percentages of low/mod income residents in the Township at 56.5% and 51% respectively. The population of this area is predominantly African-American.
