Seven Fields Borough Council accepted $162,450 in Municipal Infrastructure Program grants this week.

“The council did approve our grant — the stormwater grant,” said borough manager Tom Smith. “That’s been signed, and we’re getting ready to send it off to the county.”

These MIP grants are part of the SW Butler Stormwater Planning Group’s larger effort to prevent flooding in the region.

“This has been a collaborative effort for two years plus,” Smith said. “I have to tell you, each municipality should be commended for their collaboration. This is something that is pretty unheard of.”
