HARRISBURG –Grant funding totaling more than $3.5 million has been awarded to three community development projects in the 88th Legislative District under the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP), according to Rep. Sheryl M. Delozier (R-Cumberland).
“Cumberland County is among the fastest growing counties in Pennsylvania,” said Delozier. “As a result of our expanding population, our infrastructure and amenities need to evolve to meet new goals and demands. The grants will go a long way toward making investments in our communities and make the 88th District a better place to live, work and raise a family.
“The dollars for these projects come directly from the fiscal year 2024-25 Capitol budget, which I was proud to support under House Bill 2328.”
The grant awards are as follows:
•
$1 million for sitework at Cedar Run Business Park in Lower Allen Township. The project involves constructing an access point and initiating sitework for a multi-tenant business park.
•
$511,500 for sprayground rehabilitation at the Hampden Township pool. This project includes the demolition of old sprayground components and installing new concrete, as well as sanitation and filtration systems.
•
$2 million for sitework at Pacifica Mechanicsburg’s Beltway Commons. Pacifica must complete extensive sitework including earthwork, installing private water and gas lines, constructing retaining walls, landscaping, pouring concrete, and more.
The Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) is a Commonwealth grant program administered by the Office of the Budget for the design, acquisition and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects.
