“The improvements that will be made possible by today’s grants are vitally important for each municipality that is receiving funding. I am glad to have played a part in securing these dollars from the CFA and I thank the board and my leadership team for ensuring that they were approved,” said Probst, D-Monroe/Pike.
Stroudsburg Borough will receive a $600,000 Multimodal Transportation Fund grant to help repave six roads and install ADA-compliant curb ramps and sidewalk tie-ins. The borough also was awarded a $250,000 Small Water & Sewer Program grant to be used toward an infrastructure slip lining project.

The Multimodal Transportation Fund, administered by the CFA through the state Department of Community and Economic Development, provides grants between $100,000 and $3 million to encourage economic development and ensure that a safe and reliable system of transportation is available to the residents of the commonwealth.
