A road improvement project in East Union Township has received state funding, according to an announcement by Rep. Dane Watro (R-Luzerne/Schuylkill) and Sen. David Argall (R-Schuylkill/Carbon/Luzerne).
The lawmakers were instrumental in securing the grant through the Department of Community and Economic Development’s Multimodal Transportation Fund.
The township has been awarded $100,000 to implement connectivity improvements on multiple roads.
Multimodal Transportation Fund grants support the development, rehabilitation, and enhancement of transportation assets within existing communities. These funds may be used for streetscape improvements, upgraded lighting, sidewalk enhancements, pedestrian safety measures, connectivity between transportation assets, and transit-oriented development.
The Commonwealth Financing Authority, which oversees the fiduciary responsibility for funding state programs and investments, approved the grant. The funding represents a commitment to strengthening Pennsylvania’s economic growth and transportation infrastructure.
