PITTSBURGH, Oct. 22 – State Rep. Dan Deasy, D-Allegheny, announced the allocation of more than $986,000 in grants for significant infrastructure and recreational improvements in Green Tree Borough and Scott Township.
These funds, awarded through the Statewide Local Share Account program, will support the following projects:
$500,000 to rebuild the public swimming pool in Green Tree Borough. The modernization project includes a new pool, filtration pump, aquatic activity spaces and amenities.
$91,250 to rehabilitate the sidewalks along Bower Hill Road in Scott Township to create a safe roadway that connects residents to local businesses and jobs. The project involves replacing 3,500 square feet of concrete sidewalk, adding 780 feet of curb, installing a new concrete cheek wall to prevent debris, creating an ADA ramp, and adding a stormwater inlet.
$395,006 to repair a streambank and restore roadway along Duncan Way in Scott Township that has deteriorated due to acid mine drainage entering Whisky Run. The project involves removing the damaged gabion baskets, building a retaining wall to stabilize the streambank, and repairing the road.
“These grants are an investment in the future of our communities,” said Deasy. “From modernizing Green Tree’s public swimming pool to improving sidewalks and addressing environmental concerns in Scott Township, this funding will directly benefit residents by enhancing safety, recreation and infrastructure.”
Funding from the LSA program is administered through the Commonwealth Financing Authority, which is an independent agency of the Department of Community and Economic Development that administers Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus packages.
