FRANKLIN PARK, Jan. 22 – State Rep. Arvind Venkat, D-Allegheny, announced that $460,000 in state funds were awarded to the borough of Franklin Park for stormwater management infrastructure.
The monies, a low-interest, long-term loan from the Pennsylvania Infrastructure Investment Authority, will be used to implement a new strategy using the existing stormwater basin. Using the strategy, stormwater runoff/sediment will be reduced by 10%, i.e. nearly 81,000 pounds.
“Stormwater infrastructure is critical for the health and well-being of our community,” Venkat said. “Often, such infrastructure is very expensive and not easy to upgrade or maintain. I am proud to have advocated successfully for this award to help my constituents in Franklin Park.”
PENNVEST’s project in the borough of Franklin Park will benefit 5,500 residential households.
