November 2, 2026 - City Council Meeting

At its November 2, 2026 meeting, Wooster City Council discussed several infrastructure funding and project matters. Staff reported that the Gashi Street improvements were substantially complete, with final assessments expected in December, and that the Burbank-Winkler project had been awarded $500,000 through OPWC, with another $500,000 in federal funding still pending. The Wayne Township water project did not receive grant funding, but the township intends to proceed. Council also approved a resolution, unanimously, for a grant application for a Williams Way connector project estimated at $625,000; the grant could cover up to 80%, while the city would be responsible for the balance as well as engineering and property-acquisition costs. The transcript indicates a November 16 application deadline and a long ODOT-related schedule.
