“These redevelopment grants are our tax dollars at work,” Rep. Nate Davison (D-103) said. “When the commonwealth makes investments in important community projects, our whole region benefits. These projects reflect the Shapiro administration’s commitment to supporting our schools, main streets and one of Central Pennsylvania’s crown jewels, the Broad Street Market.”
Gov. Josh Shapiro announced that in southcentral PA and the Lehigh Valley $109.3 million was awarded to 68 projects total. Statewide, $445 million was awarded to 356 projects.
State RACP grants are reimbursement grants, which means that recipients must perform the work before being reimbursed for it.
