Senator Judy Ward and Representatives David Rowe and Perry Stambaugh have announced the approval of Multimodal Transportation Fund grants for infrastructure projects in Juniata County. These grants, provided by the Commonwealth Financing Authority, aim to enhance road safety and connectivity while fostering economic growth.
“I am proud to support these investments that will improve the safety and reliability of our transportation networks,” stated Ward. “These projects are vital to our communities’ infrastructure and will have a positive impact on local residents and businesses.”
Susquehanna Township received $350,000 for roadway paving and repairs on Old Trail Road. “This grant will assist Susquehanna Township in beginning the process of reconstructing Old Trail Road, which has become so damaged that serious safety issues have arisen,” commented Stambaugh. He noted the road’s importance as a link for passenger vehicles, Amish buggies, and large trucks accessing PA Route 104 and U.S. Routes 11/15.
Fayette Township was awarded $800,000 to construct a new connector road. “Obtaining this grant for Fayette Township will benefit all area residents and businesses and spur future economic growth for Juniata County,” said Rowe. He highlighted how these funds would upgrade roads while improving transportation options, enhancing traffic efficiency, and saving money for local governments and taxpayers.
The Commonwealth Financing Authority granted these funds through its Multimodal Transportation Fund, supporting projects that ensure a safe transportation system in Pennsylvania.
