HARRISBURG, Dec. 18 – State Rep. Bridget Kosierowski, D-Lackawanna, today announced $1.7 million in state funding for community improvement projects and local museums in her legislative district. Kosierowski advocated for grants awarded from the Statewide Local Share Account, which is funded from the PA Race Horse Development Gaming Act. “This state funding will help our district address many critical needs from feeding the food-insecure to making our sidewalks safer to renovating important community infrastructures, including roof repair and stormwater maintenance,” Kosierowski said. “I am honored that I was able to bring this money home to support these worthy projects and the people who will benefit from them. I am grateful to my fellow legislators who also advocated for these grants, especially state Sen. Marty Flynn, who was instrumental in getting them approved for our region.” “These grants truly took a village of committed people coming together to create and spearhead initiatives that will make our neighbors’ lives better. When we work together, we can achieve great things for our community. ” Projects awarded LSA funding in Kosierowski’s legislative district include: $97,298 to Lackawanna County to improve the soccer field, playground and accessibility of Merli-Sarnoski Park in Greenfield Township. $200,000 to South Abington Township to replace a culvert running beneath White Birch Road.
