HARRISBURG, Sept. 15 – State Rep. Matt Bradford today announced $1.1 million in state funding for local projects that will improve the community.
“Each of these projects will have a unique impact on our community. A new fire truck will help our first responders in East Norriton when called to an emergency. The upgrades to Variety’s All-Abilities Community Gym will provide our neighbors with disabilities a place to play and exercise. Charging stations at Jeffersonville Golf Course will give patrons with clean, pollution-reducing EVs another place to recharge,” said Bradford, D-Montgomery. “I’m grateful that these projects are making our community a better place, and I’m pleased that the Shapiro administration is investing in important projects here in Montgomery County that will keep us safe, provide recreational access to people with disabilities, and protect our environment.”
East Norriton Township was awarded $700,000 to purchase a tower ladder fire truck for Norriton Fire Engine Co. The fire truck will ensure that first responders can respond quickly to fire emergencies and keep the community safe.
Variety, the Children’s Charity of the Delaware Valley, was awarded $350,000 for improvements to its All-Abilities Community Gym in Worcester Township, which is one of the only local recreational outlets specifically catering to young adults with disabilities. The project is a full-scale renovation of the gym that will allow for year-round use and programming.
West Norriton Township was awarded $50,000 toward the installation of electric vehicle charging stations, including an ADA-accessible station, in the parking area at Jeffersonville Golf Course.
The funds were awarded through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s Local Share Account program.
