Summary

In April 1993, a Beaver Beacon township report said Boyle & Palladino had sent an $80,000 state grant application for tennis courts. The report placed the proposed site at the Beaver Lodge Drive–Donegal Bay Road corner, with property to be donated by R. Neff and W. Webb and H. Hart identified as project organizer.

The report describes a proposal and pending approvals, not a completed court, grant award, or recorded property transfer.

Open questions

  • Was the grant awarded and were courts constructed?
  • Who were R. Neff, W. Webb, and H. Hart in this project?
  • Can the preliminary drawing or township approval record be located?
