CENTRE COUNTY, Sept. 15 – Today, state Rep. Scott Conklin announced that nearly $1.03 million in funding from the Department of Community & Economic Development's Local Share Account will go toward projects in his legislative district.

A total of seven projects across his district will be either fully or partially funded through the LSA program. Funding is provided by the distribution of gaming revenues distributed by the state’s Commonwealth Financing Authority.

The LSA allotment will go toward the following projects:

  • $200,000 for the construction of electric vehicle charging hubs in Ferguson Township.
  • $150,000 for the construction of a safe, clean and ADA-accessible restroom facility building at Sidney Friedman Park in State College. $150,000 to improve sidewalks on West College Avenue in Ferguson Township.
  • $150,000 to complete a roof replacement project in Rush Township.
  • $150,000 to acquire a building adjacent to the Rowland Theatre in Philipsburg Borough to assure ADA accessibility after future renovations.
  • $129,120 to pave two existing dirt pump tracks at Bernel Road Park in Patton Township.
  • $100,000 to upgrade a wastewater treatment plant in Port Matilda Borough.

"From creating more walkable cities and better park conditions, to improving local homes and businesses, these projects all combine to forge stronger infrastructure here in Centre County," Conklin said. "I'm proud to secure funding that will directly improve lives here at home."
