State Rep. Ben Sanchez announced today the award of several high-profile state grants for local projects.
The grant below originated from the Statewide Local Share Account, which comes from the PA Race Horse Development and Gaming Act. The act provides for the distribution of gaming revenues through the Commonwealth Financing Authority to support projects in the public interest within Pennsylvania.
- Upper Dublin Township, Craig-Y-Nos Area Sanitary Sewer Installation, $500,000
- Upper Dublin Township is planning to install public sewer for 48 properties that currently operate with septic systems. The proposed project installs 6,100 linear feet of sewer force main.
“State-level funding is crucial for promoting local development, allowing communities to grow and thrive without directly burdening taxpayers,” Sanchez said. “By investing in key projects such as infrastructure and public services, states help drive progress while keeping local taxes in check. Congratulations to the funding recipients – your dedication is a strong testament to the strength of our community.”
The program is administered by the Department of Community and Economic Development under the direction of the Commonwealth Financing Authority.
“Investments in local infrastructure are critical to making our communities safer and more attractive places to live, work and play,” state Sen. Maria Collett said. “I was proud to work alongside Representative Sanchez to bring this funding home to the Upper Dublin community and ensure our public works systems continue to serve our neighbors well.”
