PATTON TOWNSHIP, Nov. 9 – Today, state Rep. Scott Conklin applauded the $333,500 in funding from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation’s Multimodal Transportation Fund that will be supporting infrastructure projects in his district.
Of the funding, $255,500 will go to Patton Township for the Vairo Boulevard Rehabilitation Project, which aims to rehab 0.16 miles of Vairo Boulevard by milling existing pavement, installing paving fabric and paving the road to bring into good condition. Construction is anticipated to begin in 2027.
Another $78,000 will go to Rush Township for the Medical Center Drive Improvement Project, addressing flooding issues on Medical Center Drive through stormwater management and paving improvements. Physical work on the project was completed in October.
The funding is part of a more than $3.6 million state transportation investment in Centre County to address safety concerns and improve traffic flow.
“Safe and effective transportation is crucial to the success of our communities,” Conklin said. “Vairo Boulevard and Medical Center Drive are critical roads for our commuters, and with PennDOT’s support, we’re making sure they remain in top condition for years to come.”
