Artificial Surface Approved For King Field

May 30, 2013 by admin

Wallingford PA Real Estate - Wallingford PA - Wallingford Swarthmore School District Announces Artificial Turf Will Be In Stalled At George King Field

Artificial Turf Is Coming To King Field

The Wallingford-Swarthmore School Board has given approval for the installation of a synthetic playing surface to be installed at George L. King field.

The estimated cost of the project is $690,000 with FieldTurf USA of Georgia supplying the material, and ELA Sport, with offices in State College and Litiz, PA, contracted to perform the installation work. It is anticipated that work will be completed in time for the fall sports season.

The majority of the project cost is being funded, approximately $500,000, by the school district from savings derived from renovation/expansions of the high school and middle school.

The volunteer organization TeamUp4Turf created to move the artificial turf field initiative forward has raised the remainder. Private contributions have come from a wide variety of sources, area businesses, students, parents and a former Strath Haven High football star, Dan Connor, who now plays for the New York Giants.

Reasons cited for the need for the new field include overuse, scheduling flexibility and unsafe surface conditions. It is estimated that annual maintenance costs for the new surface will be approximately $7,000. Currently the district spends $40,000 annually maintaining the natural grass field at the stadium.

Wallingford PA Real Estate - wallingford PA - PECO Revises Smart A/C Saver Progrtam For Summer 2013

PECO Digital Cycling Unit (DCU)

As the humidity and temperatures have risen over the past few days, PECO has announced changes to their Smart A/C Saver program starting June 1, 2013.

80,000 customers enrolled in the program have been notified that the annual incentive for participation in the program will be cut from $120 to $80. Under the program participants will now be credited $20 per month on their utility bills during this upcoming summer months of June through September. Last year the monthly incentive stood at $30 per month.

The Smart A/C Saver program utilizes radio controlled switches, know as Digital Cycling Units (DCU), installed in conjunction with customer’s central air conditioning units, that allow the utility to cycle the air conditioning compressors off for 15 minute intervals during what the utility calls “conservation events”. The program curtails supply demand on the power grid during peak demand periods. There were 51 hours of such events during last year’s summer season, and PECO has announced that fewer such events are planned for this summer.

Low Credit Scores Force Many Out Of The Market

May 14, 2013 by admin

Mortgage originations for borrowers with credit scores below 620 have mostly disappeared in recent years, eliminating borrowers with low credit scores from the housing market.

Mortgages for borrowers with a credit score between 620 and 680 tumbled nearly 90%, compared to a 30% drop for borrowers with a score greater than 780, according to the Federal Reserve.

Meanwhile, the median credit score skyrocketed from 730 in 2007 to a whopping 770 in 2013.

Credit challenged borrowers have have turned to mortgages insured or guaranteed by the Federal Housing Administration (FHA), the Department of Veteran Affairs(VA)and the Rural Housing Service (RHS). As a result, the share of purchase mortgages guaranteed or insured by the FHA, the VA, or the RHS escalated from 5% in 2006 to more than 40% in 2011.

According to the Federal Reserve’s April survey of loan officers and bank lenders, banks are less likely to originate mortgages with FICO scores in the 620 range, even with a 10% or 20% down payment.
