HARRISBURG, Dec. 18 – State Rep. Jim Prokopiak, D-Bucks, today announced the approval of two state grants that will support critical infrastructure and public service improvements in Middletown Township through the Commonwealth Financing Authority’s Local Share Account program. The funding will assist with a major roof replacement project at the Middletown Township Municipal Center and upgrades to water meter technology serving Middletown Township residents. Middletown Township has been awarded up to $466,640 in LSA funding to support the replacement of the roof at the Middletown Township Municipal Center in Bucks County. The Municipal Center roof is currently experiencing severe leaks that have damaged ceiling tiles and interior surfaces. The project will include a full roof replacement, necessary masonry repairs, and restoration of water-damaged interior areas. “Replacing the Municipal Center roof is essential to preserving a critical public building, preventing further damage, and ensuring uninterrupted municipal services for Middletown Township residents,” Prokopiak said. In a separate award, the Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority received $140,860 in LSA funding for a project benefiting Middletown Township and Lower Southampton Township. The total project cost is $150,660, with the Authority contributing $9,800 in committed funds. Read more
BUCKS COUNTY – Senator Steve Santarsiero (D-10) along with Representatives Tina Davis (D-141) and Jim Prokopiak (D-140) announced today $1,355,000 in state funding: $1,000,000 for Bucks County Technical High School Field House/Gymnasium Project $355,000 for Levittown-Fairless Hills Rescue Squad for new ambulance to be used in Bristol and Falls Townships The Bucks County Redevelopment Authority will receive funds to build a gymnasium/fieldhouse at the Bucks County Technical School located at 610 Wistar Road, Fairless Hills. The Technical School Authority is comprised of Bensalem, Bristol Borough, Bristol Township, Morrisville, Neshaminy, and Pennsbury School Districts. Currently, the school lacks a dedicated gymnasium so physical education classes are currently held in a repurposed cafeteria that is inadequate for the school’s needs. There are no proper locker room facilities for students to change. “As a former teacher, I know that safe and quality facilities are key to effective learning for every child who walks through a school’s doors,” said Senator Santarsiero. “This new gymnasium with locker room facilities will make sure students at Bucks County Technical High School can gain the full benefits of physical education. This investment is essential to ensuring every child has quality and equitable education in Bucks County.” “Every student deserves safe, equitable access to quality Read more
