Joint Paving Program

Beginning in 2006, South Strabane Township joined a collaborative with Nottingham, Peter’s, and Canton Townships to efficiently share available resources during their annual summer asphalt paving projects. The quaternate of Townships jointly purchased an asphalt paver with the understanding that sharing such a resource intensive piece of equipment would provide the most benefit for the taxpayers of each respective municipality. Typically beginning the first week of July, each Township uses the paver for approximately 10 working days. While each municipality has their own asphalt roller, the collective group teams up to deliver between 500-700 tons of asphalt per day! In addition to sharing resources for transportation, municipalities also assist with laboring duties when needed, ensuring paving operations run smoothly and efficiently. South Strabane Township is proud to be a leading member within this intergovernmental initiative. The Township will continue to seek innovative solutions to all challenges to ensure the efficient allocation of taxpayers’ dollars.
