EBENSBURG, Aug. 1 – In keeping with his ongoing commitment to bringing state dollars back to the district, state Rep. Frank Burns praised the use of $70,687 in grant funds to maintain and improve two roadways in Croyle Township, Cambria County.

 

Burns, D-Cambria, said the funds were used for improvement and maintenance projects this spring on Plummer Road and Betz Road come from the state Department of Agriculture’s Dirt and Gravel Road Maintenance Program. A total of $34,761 was awarded for the Plummer Road project, and $35,926 was awarded for the Betz Road project. 

 

“Investments in our infrastructure are a tangible way to see our tax dollars at work,” Burns said.

 

Burns added that any entity within the 72nd Legislative District that needs information on grants or assistance in applying for a grant can contact his Portage office at 814-736-7339 and ask for Brittany Blackham, who serves as an in-house grant writer/assistant.
