HARRISBURG – Sen. Tracy Pennycuick (R-24) and Rep. Donna Scheuren (R-147) announced that multiple projects across Montgomery County have received grant funding from the Pennsylvania Local Share Account (LSA) program.
Working together to obtain funding, Sen. Pennycuick and Rep. Scheuren advocated for each of the below projects:
- $527,854 for Douglass Township to help purchase new municipal equipment, specifically a new leaf vacuum and a dual-axel truck chassis.
- $244,000 for Lower Salford Township to rehabilitate 180 feet of the Skippack Creek streambank. This part of the streambank is near the Mainland Treatment Plant and will be used for excavation, regarding installation of erosion controls and native species landscaping.
- $71,891 for Upper Pottsgrove Township to purchase new police equipment. This will be used for a new police SUV with upfitted equipment, replacing an existing SUV that is 14 years old.
- $278,558 for Douglass Township to purchase a new asphalt paver to help properly develop and maintain roads and public trails.
- $400,000 for Lower Frederick Township for the Lower Frederick Fire Company to purchase a new firetruck to replace their current one from 1999.
- $350,000 for Boyertown Borough to purchase and install a backup generator at the wastewater treatment plant located in Douglas Township, Montgomery County
- $650,000 for Lower Salford Township to rehabilitate sewer infrastructure on Manor and Alderfer Roads.
“I’m thrilled that these vital projects in our districts have received this funding,” said Pennycuick. “These investments will enhance our communities by providing essential services, improving infrastructure, and promoting environmental sustainability. I’m grateful for the partnership with Representative Scheuren and the Commonwealth Financing Authority in making these improvements possible.”
“I am happy to see this important funding approved for projects across my district,” said Scheuren. “Not only will it help one municipality with their heavy equipment needs, another with their environmental improvements and a third with upgrades to their emergency services, but all of the funding will go to enhancing the lives of their citizens.”
The PA Racehorse Development and Gaming Act (Act 2004-71), provides for the distribution of gaming revenues through the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) to support projects in the public interest within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
