Figured with all the snow I'd check the state's web site for contracts. I found out two things:
1. The search function needs a 'filter' option, because if you search for "snow removal york county" you get, like, 400 things, most of which appear to have nothing to do with either York County or snow removal.
2. In October 2008, Crispus Attucks got a $30,000 grant from the state to buy a tractor-loader to help with snow removal at CA's Boundary Avenue site.
CA wrote in the grant application that about 2,000 people work, visit or receive services at CA every day, and then when there is snow or ice, it has "hindered and at times even prevented residents from accessing the services they need."
CA's "key concerns are related to safety, and unimpeded access to emergency services," according to the paperwork. A tractor-loader or skid-loader, CA said, could help it clear "ice chunks, snow and other debris, especially after municipal snowplows come through and block our access points." *
The state Department of Community and Economic Development gave Crispus Attucks $23,500 for a tractor-loader, $4,500 for a trailer and $2,000 for a maintenance contract.
*Let me guess: Some of you had that same experience today.
