Supporting public safety and recreational initiatives is an important way to enhance quality of life and to help foster greater economic growth within our region. I’m proud to have advocated for this funding and commend area leaders for recognizing the significance of these projects and seeking out assistance from the state level.

Vandergrift Borough has received $278,397 for the Grant and McKinley Avenue Reconstruction and Ninth Street Retaining Wall Reconstruction Design Projects. These projects included the paving of approximately 1,030 linear feet of several deteriorated streets within the Borough. Grant and McKinley Avenues are main streets in the center of the business district and improvements aim to reduce safety hazards to motorists and pedestrians. In addition, design of a replacement to the current retaining wall along Ninth Street will be undertaken.

East Vandergrift Borough has received $152,681 for the East Vandergrift River Park Renovation Project. The project included resurfacing the current basketball court, the creation of a pickleball court, and the purchase and installation of playground equipment.
