HARRISBURG — Sen. Chris Gebhard (R-48) today announced more than $1 million in state grants for projects to improve transportation infrastructure in Berks and Lancaster counties.
“These projects will protect driver and pedestrian safety and ensure a reliable roadway system for our communities,” Gebhard said. “I’m happy to have helped secure this funding — these projects, while important, can be very expensive for municipalities.”
The following projects were awarded funding through the Multimodal Transportation Fund:
- Crossings at Cocalico LLC — $514,091 for roadway and pedestrian infrastructure improvements on PA Routes 272 and 897 in East Cocalico Township.
- Womelsdorf Borough — $500,000 for streetscape improvements along 2nd, 3rd and High Streets.
The Multimodal Transportation Fund provides grants to encourage economic development and ensure that a safe and reliable system of transportation is available to the residents of the commonwealth. The funding was approved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority, an independent agency of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development which administers Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus packages.
