Fall is here, making it the perfect time to cast a line and enjoy Pennsylvania’s beautiful waterways. Get outdoors, stay safe, and I hope to see you on the water!🍂🎣
It was great stopping by Collegeville Fire Company last week to recognize the impact of recent grants I helped secure through the PA Department of Community and Economic Development! A $70,000 grant recently supported the purchase of their new emergency water response vehicle and turnout gear, and an additional $80,000 will help fund essential equipment and facility improvements for the Fire Company in the months ahead. Investing in our first responders means investing in the safety and well-being of our entire community.
It was great meeting with Building a Better Boyertown to celebrate the grant funding I assisted in securing this year through the PA Department of Community and Economic Development. This support will help create a new community pocket park and trail at the property located at S. Reading Avenue and Mill Street just outside Boyertown Borough. Funding from the 2025 LSA Statewide Program enabled BaBB to purchase the 7.4 acre parcel, and an additional $150,000 will go toward engineering and design work for the new Iron Valley Nature Preserve. This trail will serve as spur to the rest of the regional trail network, offer parking, a picnic area and restrooms. Lots of exciting improvements are on the way for the Boyertown area in 2027!
Boyertown residents, exciting news is on the way! I was thrilled to join Friends of Boyertown Community Pool this week to announce a $500,000 investment toward restoring the historic pool at Boyertown Community Park, with reopening anticipated in summer 2027. I`m proud to have helped secure this funding through the PA Department of Community and Economic Development. Revitalization projects like this strengthen our communities, enhance quality of life, and support local economic growth. I look forward to seeing families and residents enjoy this cherished community asset for years to come.
I recently had the privilege of hosting my second annual “Senator for a Day” Student Government Seminar, welcoming outstanding students from nearly a dozen high schools across Berks and Montgomery Counties. Through hands-on participation and thoughtful discussion, these young leaders explored the legislative process and learned how the work we do in Harrisburg impacts their lives and communities.
Their enthusiasm and commitment to public service were truly inspiring. Thanks again to Perkiomen School for hosting us, and to all the students who participated! Take a few minutes to watch the video and see the next generation of Pennsylvania’s leaders in action: https://senatorpennycuick.com/2026/10/27/2026-senator-for-a-day-student-government-seminar/
Fewer distractions ahead: Public schools will now be required to adopt policies limiting student cellphone use during the school day, with narrow exceptions. I’m proud to have supported this bipartisan legislation, which was just signed into law.
It`s official! SB 1212, which passed the House of Representatives unanimously last week has been signed into law as Act 106 of 2026. This is crucial legislation, and I am thrilled we were able to get it signed into law.
