Senator Elder Vogel, Jr. announced the allocation of state funding for six community parks and open space projects in Beaver County. The grants were approved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority.
“I’m very pleased to announce state funding to help local communities pay for these worthy projects,” Vogel stated. “Creating useful open space and upgrading playgrounds for children expands opportunities for fun, exercise and outdoor recreation.”
The funds will be distributed as follows: GetBlok Farms of Aliquippa is set to receive $47,500 for its Franklin Avenue open space project. Hopewell Township will benefit from $86,730 for improvements at Sharon Grange Park's playground and an additional $90,872 for Woodlawn Park playground enhancements. Koppel Borough is allocated $75,000 for its community park project. Patterson Township will gain $44,470 for community park upgrades. Lastly, Primary Health Network is awarded $100,000 for its Rochester green space initiative.
The Commonwealth Financing Authority operates as an independent agency under the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, managing the state's economic stimulus initiatives.
