Monroeville council members on Sept. 2 reviewed a request from the local land bank to acknowledge the acquisition of a small parcel along Maasai Boulevard that sits between the library and senior center.

A borough official described the parcel as addressable from Maasai Boulevard but extending behind the public library and the senior center; the grass area is currently being mowed and the borough expects eventual transfer or coordination with the land bank to incorporate the parcel into borough property holdings. The land bank asked the council to acknowledge the position so the land bank can advance acquisition and future conveyance work.

Council did not take formal action at the citizens-night agenda-setting meeting; staff said they will continue to coordinate with the land bank and return a formal conveyance or title-transfer item for a future meeting if needed.
