(Story by Beaver County Radio News Correspondent Curtis Walsh)

The Big Beaver Borough Council held their monthly meeting tonight and they discussed multiple topics and issues from within the borough. The first topic of discussion was a from a man that owns a popular dirt bike and ATV trail park in New Beaver.  He wants to expand his business, starting with trails, into the Big Beaver area.  Council members are supportive of his ideas, but they want to be sure that his business is going to be able to help support the borough financially in some way.  He stated that as his business expands, they will offer camping services which should be taxable by the borough.  Another issue discussed was the protocol of agreements when approving construction permits for houses.  A member of council stated there have been issues with people who are granted permission to build houses, begin the project, and then leave them incomplete for years to come.  They are looking to revise the process in which these permits are given.  And also on the agenda was the agreement to accommodate Big Beaver police officers with a locked room at the municipal building to be able to do paperwork, fingerprinting and other duties without having to run back and forth to Beaver Falls.  Audio from the meeting can be heard below:
