Funds will support project at Philipsburg-Osceola Senior High School

STATE COLLEGE, Oct. 23 – New grant funding of $490,692 will support a project to replace deteriorated roof sections at Philipsburg-Osceola Senior High School, state Rep. Scott Conklin announced today.
Conklin said the grant – secured through the Commonwealth Financing Authority – will help fund work to replace multiple aging roof sections that are failing and allowing moisture to intrude.
“The new funds will help the school district move forward with much-needed work to the high school’s roof, sections of which are more than 30 years old and well past their serviceable life,” Conklin said. “Components are failing and allowing moisture in, and the school needs to move forward with replacement and restoration work to prevent building damage and slipping hazards. I’m glad the new funding will help make that happen.”
Conklin said the funding was awarded through the Public School Facility Improvement Grant Program. Administered by the PA Department of Community and Economic Development under the direction of the Commonwealth Financing Authority, the program provides funding to public school districts and career and technical schools for eligible facility improvement projects.
Grants are available for eligible improvement projects with a total project cost of $500,000 or more and may not exceed $5 million for any project.
