HARRISBURG – Sen. Pat Stefano (R-32) and Rep. Charity Grimm Krupa (R-51) announced today that more than $701,500 in funding was awarded by the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) for Fayette County transportation improvement projects.
Henry Clay Township will receive $400,000 to reconstruct and resurface Sugarloaf Road.
South Union Township will receive more than $301,500 to install lighting along a section of the Sheepskin Trail.
“It’s a pleasure to see this much-needed funding come to Fayette County to make our roads and walkways safer,” Stefano said. “I’m grateful that Rep. Krupa and I were able to work together to secure these grants to offset the costs associated with the work that needs to be completed.”
The funding was approved by the CFA through the Multimodal Transportation Fund.
“Winter is behind us, so it’s time to get outside and enjoy the warmer weather,” Grimm Krupa said. “This funding will help drivers in Henry Clay Township and walkers and bikers on the Sheepskin trail do just that!”
The CFA is an independent agency of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development that administers the commonwealth’s economic stimulus packages.
Multimodal Transportation Fund awards may be used for the development, rehabilitation and enhancement of transportation assets, streetscape, lighting, sidewalk enhancement, pedestrian safety, connectivity of transportation assets and transit-oriented development.
