LANSDALE, Jan. 20 – State Rep. Steve Malagari and state Sen. Maria Collett, both D-Montgomery, today announced more than $1.4 million in state funding for water, sewer, and transportation infrastructure projects in their legislative districts.
The intersection of Orvilla and Koffel roads in Hatfield Township will receive $634,000 from the state’s Multimodal Transportation Fund. The funding will support engineering and design upgrades to improve safety and traffic flow at the intersection.
Additional grants from Pennsylvania’s Small Water and Sewer Program will support a range of Montgomery County projects, including:
- $278,024 to North Penn Water Authority for water main replacement on Forest Avenue.
- $85,977 to Hatfield Township for drainage improvements in Line Lexington.
- $400,000 to Hatfield Township Municipal Authority for screw pump replacements.
- $50,000 to Souderton Borough for an aeration system upgrade.
“I am always glad to help our local governments secure state funding for infrastructure projects,” Malagari said. “These projects not only improve daily life for our neighbors but also help reduce costs for local municipal budgets. Clean, safe water systems and safer roadways, especially at busy intersections, are essential to our community.”
Malagari worked with Collett to secure the state funds.
“I’m excited to announce grant funding that will make our neighborhoods safer, healthier, and more sustainable,” Collett said. “Our municipal partners work hard to maintain our roads and keep our water systems running, and these critical projects will ensure our infrastructure continues to effectively serve the community.”
The grants were approved today by the Commonwealth Financing Authority.
