GLENSIDE, Dec. 18 – The Commonwealth Financing Authority has approved nearly $2 million in grant funding for projects in the 154th legislative district, announced state Rep. Napoleon Nelson, D-Montgomery.

“We will now see almost $2 million in grant funding coming to our district,” said Nelson. “Money will be going to support the firefighters who protect us every day and to fund renovations to keep our community spaces thriving. I will keep pushing to make sure our community gets the funding it needs, and I am proud to back these outstanding projects.”

The projects in Nelson’s district that are supported by this funding include:

  • $900,000 to support renovations to the La Mott Community Center in Cheltenham Township, including the installation of an ADA-compliant elevator.
  • $850,000 to the La Mott Fire Company in Cheltenham Township to support a firehouse addition and renovation project for the nearly 70-year-old building.
  • $100,000 to the Jenkintown Education Foundation to support stormwater protection improvements in Legacy Park.
  • $63,070 to Cheltenham Township for the Greenway Master Plan in Parkview Park.
  • $56,250 to the Cheltenham Township Community Development Corporation to complete a planning study to improve the Elkins Central commercial corridor.

These grants come from the Local Share Account, which supports projects in the public interest that improve the quality of life for citizens in the community.
