PITTSBURGH, Nov. 19 – State Rep. Jessica Benham announced $215,000 in grant funding has been awarded to support two local development projects.

“I’m excited to see this funding awarded to projects that will improve and expand resources in Brentwood and Brookline,” said Benham, D-Allegheny. “I’m grateful to Senators Pisciottano and Fontana for their partnership in securing this funding, and I’ll continue to do everything I can as a state legislator to drive more investments like these to our community.”

Benham said project funding was awarded as follows:

$160,000 to Brentwood Borough for parking lot rehabilitation at Brentwood Community Park (secured in partnership with state Sen. Nick Pisciottano).
