HARRISBURG, March 18 – State Rep. Jacklyn Rusnock announced today that two agencies in her PA House legislative district received over $100,000 in new grant funding through the Local Share Account Program from the Commonwealth Financing Authority.
In the 126th District, Rusnock supported state funding for the following projects:
- $85,000 to Muhlenberg Township Fire and Rescue for a new utility truck.
- $28,300 to the Central Bucks Police Station for renovations and security upgrades.
“Our first responders constantly put themselves in dangerous situations for the good of the community,” Rusnock said. “Connecting them with this important funding is the least we can do. I’m pleased to see these dollars invested locally, and I thank the CFA for their support of our first responders!”
“Muhlenberg Township Fire & Rescue gratefully acknowledges the continued support of Representative Rusnock in helping secure an $85,000 grant to advance our apparatus replacement efforts,” said Muhlenberg Township Fire Chief Alex Lupco. “These critical funds will support the modernization of our emergency fleet, enhancing our ability to deliver reliable, efficient response services while safeguarding both our residents and first responders. We sincerely appreciate Representative Rusnock’s ongoing commitment to strengthening public safety within our community.”
