HARRISBURG – State grant funding totaling over $1.8 million has been awarded to four community development projects in the 88th District under the Local Share Account grant program, according to Rep. Sheryl Delozier (R-Cumberland). She was glad to advocate for the funding for her district.
“Local Share Account (LSA) grants support a variety of needs in our communities,” said Delozier. “This grant program provides significant savings to the municipalities in receipt of the dollars and allows for community building improvements and other revitalization efforts.
“LSA grants are funded by state gaming revenue. I am pleased to see that money reinvested locally, and I am grateful the following projects have received funding. These grant awards will have a positive impact our communities for generations to come. I am glad to have advocated for the funding.”
Awarded on a competitive basis, the local grants are as follows:
