EXTON, Jan. 23 – State Rep. Danielle Friel Otten, D-Chester, today announced that nearly $1.4 million in state funding was approved for infrastructure projects in her central Chester County legislative district. 

“State investments like these help our communities address long-standing infrastructure needs and keep pace with growth while alleviating some of the burden on local taxpayers,” Otten said. “My team and I enjoy working with our local municipalities to identify their needs and funding priorities, and I’m thrilled to have helped bring these resources to our district. These projects will help to improve public safety, address the infrastructure challenges that come with development and population growth, and enhance quality of life for residents across central Chester County.” 

Funding awarded from the Multimodal Transportation Fund includes: 

  • Main Line Hospitals Downingtown Health Center Transportation in Caln Township, $532,167 for roadway, intersection, and pedestrian infrastructure improvements at the site of the proposed Main Line Health Center at Lloyd Avenue and Route 322. 
  • Uwchlan Township and Lionville Middle School Whitford Road Pedestrian Crossing Project, $120,569, for pedestrian safety improvements at the intersection of Whitford Road and Lori Circle. 

Funding awarded from the Small Water and Sewer Program includes: 

  • Uwchlan Township Municipal Authority, $500,000, for the Eagleview Wastewater Treatment Plant Diversion. 
  • Wallace Township Municipal Authority, $275,000, for Sand Filter Replacement. 

Funding for these projects was approved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority from the Multimodal Transportation Fund and Small Water and Sewer Program, which helps communities improve local infrastructure, enhance public safety, and plan for long-term growth.
