The Falls Township Board of Supervisors voted 3-0 Monday evening to continue its annual contract with Millennium Strategies LLC. Supervisors Jeff Dence and Jeff Boraski were at the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors annual educational conference and not present for Monday’s board meeting. Supervisor John Palmer joined virtually.
As part of the contracted monthly cost of $1,500, Millennium Strategies will create a strategic plan, research available opportunities, and provide monthly reporting. Project-based grant writing services would be provided at an hourly rate, township officials said.
The company has helped Falls secure $1,077,693.33 in alternative governmental and nongovernmental grant funding since beginning work with the township in 2020, according to township officials.

Falls Township Board of Supervisors Vice Chairperson Erin Mullen said “they’re doing a good job.”
Township Manager Matthew Takita said that as part of the contract – which remains exactly the same as last year – Millennium Strategies will monitor grant opportunities and review possibilities that township officials are interested in.

Currently, the company is working with Falls Township to obtain funding for road improvements, parks and the new municipal building, Takita said.
Palmer said the township had previously extended the grant service to the township’s volunteer fire companies.
Falls Township began working with Millennium Strategies, LLC in 2020 after neighboring Middletown Township used the company’s services to generate more than $10 million in grant funding over a 10-year span.
