Newtown Finance Committees Discusses Uses of PEG Grant Money

Mack's Newtown Voice

At its June 22, 2021, live public meeting, the Newtown Township Finance Committee (FC) continued its discussion of possible uses for PEG (Public, Educational, and Governmental) grants from cable companies. Under federal law, PEG Fees may only be used for capital costs associated with PEG access facilities and equipment. One possible use is to upgrade the "antiquated" equipment used by the township. Also discussed was the possibility of competitive bidding to find a new contractor to provide cable AND streaming video of important public meetings.
