“With this grant, we have the opportunity to preserve water and reduce pollution,” Representative Scott Conklin said. “We are at a pivotal moment where water preservation and pollution reduction transcends the borders of Centre County, reaching as far as the Chesapeake Bay. With water pollution increasing, we must begin addressing this issue locally to protect our environment and ensure our water is of the highest quality.” Read more

“This funding for Penn State will invest in the agricultural industry, allowing one of Pennsylvania’s largest industries to grow,” Conklin said. “By investing in research at Penn State, we support pioneering research from Penn State’s students, faculty and staff, as well as take the opportunity to make the agricultural industry more environmentally sustainable. We need to be vigilant in seeking ways to make this thriving and powerful industry more sustainable for the future. The new grants will fund projects to help us remediate abandoned coal mine land, identify lands that could be suitable for solar energy production, and develop other projects to move us toward greater sustainability. Through these grants, we will make an impact on the industry, helping farmers across the commonwealth.” Read more

“With one in five women and one in 16 men being sexually assaulted while pursuing higher education, we must work to prevent sexual assault, harassment and violence on campus so that students feel safe on campus,” Conklin said. “It is on us, as state legislators, and faculty and staff at Penn State, to lead by example so that students feel supported on campus. With this funding from PDE, we’ll support sexual violence prevention and support survivors on campus. As state representative for the 77th Legislative District, I remain committed to advocating for victims of sexual violence.” Read more

“By providing infrastructure for EVs, we make EVs more accessible for rural Pennsylvanians, but also to those who travel through central Pennsylvania so they may charge their vehicles,” Conklin said. “Rural areas cover 97% of the country’s land and with the lack of EV charging stations in rural Pennsylvania, it poses a barrier for rural Pennsylvanians and travelers with EVs. Through this funding, we will address this barrier by building up infrastructure at one of Pennsylvania’s largest universities.” Read more
Added Conklin: "More so, by transitioning Penn State's fleet to EVs, we help decrease emissions in Centre County, making Pennsylvania's fleets closer to achieving zero emissions." Read more
“As the cost of tuition and meals continues to increase on campuses across the country, we must ensure students have access to food so that they may succeed,” Conklin said. “With 39% of undergraduate students being low-income, many students struggle with accessing affordable food. Through this funding, Penn State will have the opportunity to further combat food insecurity, ensuring its students feel secure, rather than hungry, while attending their classes. The cost of higher education already poses a barrier to students, and we should not allow hunger to pose an additional barrier.” Read more

“Through legislation, such as H.B. 1201, we have the opportunity to keep Pennsylvania open for business, all while protecting consumers’ right to privacy," Conklin said in a statement. "Most recently, Cambridge Analytica posed a threat to national security when it utilized users’ data to disseminate misinformation on American elections, as well as the United Kingdom’s referendum on Brexit. As such, we must protect consumers’ privacy, in addition to fending off interference in our elections.” Read more
“Through this grant, we continue to support Pennsylvanians’ opportunities to learn more about the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics,” state Rep. Scott Conklin, D-Rush Township, said of the funding to Discovery Space, which is located in his 77th District. Read more
“With this grant from DEP, we will restore the Bald Eagle Creek Watershed to provide for stormwater management, keeping Taylor Township residents safer from the risks of flooding,” state Rep. Scott Conklin, D-Rush Township, said. “Conserving and restoring the watershed will also further protect our Centre County environment.” Read more
“Rather than giving misinformation, maybe what they should do is go to work at the elections office and find out how it works. There are two audits done in every county, after every election. All these things are there. Rather than trying to disenfranchise voters, it is time that elected officials sit down and work together in getting confidence back in the system.” Read more
