More than $270 million in federal funding has been secured by Senator Dave McCormick. The funding will spread to several projects throughout Pennsylvania. The projects being funded categorize under public safety, infrastructure, education, healthcare, economic development, and environmental restoration.
“This funding delivers real results for Pennsylvanians,” said Senator McCormick. “It helps communities advance important projects and ensures taxpayer dollars are put to work where they are needed most. This money would have been spent by those in Washington, D.C. regardless. My goal is to steer these tax dollars home to worthy projects rather than leave these decisions to unelected bureaucrats.”
