PITTSBURGH, Dec. 30 – State Rep. Dan Deasy, D-Allegheny, announced today a total of $376,600 in state funding for upgrades to the Crafton Community Pool and recreational trails along Pittsburgh’s three rivers.

The state Department of Conservation and Natural Resources awarded the following grants:

  • $250,000 to Crafton Borough for the rehabilitation of Crafton Community Pool, including renovating the bathhouse and concession stand, installing utilities, ADA access, landscaping and other site improvements.
  • $26,000 to Friends of the Riverfront Inc. to prepare a Water Trail Management Plan for the Three Rivers Water Trail in Allegheny County.
