Senator Tom Killion (R-9) announced several new state grants for local communities totaling nearly $1.5 million.
Killion requested the grants for local municipalities and public authorities. The new grants are administered by the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s Commonwealth Financing Authority.
“This is great news for our area,” said Killion. “These state grants will enhance the quality of life for our families and help municipalities and local authorities complete important projects,” he added.
These are the grants awarded to local communities:
| Brookhaven Borough | $390,175 | Small Water and Sewer funds to replace sanitary sewer mains in Brookhaven Borough |
| East Goshen Municipal Authority | $32,309 | Small Water and Sewer funds for improvements to the Barkway Pump Station |
| East Goshen Township | $250,000 | Greenways, Trails and Recreation funds for the construction of a new park |
| Nether Providence Township | $150,000 | Watershed Restoration and Protection funds for stream bank restoration at three locations along Dick’s Run |
| Southern Delaware County Authority | $392,000 | Small Water and Sewer funds to rehabilitate the sanitary sewer system in Upper Chichester Township |
| West Goshen Sewer Authority | $220,000 | Small Water and Sewer funds to make aerator basin improvements at the wastewater treatment plant |
| Westtown Township | $55,387 | Sewage Facilities funds to update their Act 537 Plan |
Killion earlier announced a $1 million state grant for renovations to Riddle Hospital’s Birthplace facility and another $1 million grant to renovate and expand the Green Ridge Fire House in Aston Township. These two grants in Killion’s district were provided by the state’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program after Governor Tom Wolf released funding for the projects.
“I will continue to work to bring our tax dollars back to this area to help our communities,” Killion said.
