“This funding will go directly into improving public safety and access for our communities, which is a great use of LSA monies,” said Young. “Our Delaware County public infrastructure has been in real need of modernizing, so the continued renovations of Colwyn Borough Hall and improved ability for timely response by Tinicum Township police is long overdue and welcome. I’m also thrilled to support public safety improvements at the airport and assist Sharing Excess with obtaining new vehicles to help with their mission to improve food insecurity in Philadelphia and Delco. LSA funds should be used for uplifting quality of life and the public interest. These investments show how we can do so much more when we work together.”
