Kazeem secures $475,000 in state funding for transportation project in Upper Chichester Township

HARRISBURG, March 3 – As a longtime advocate for investments in transportation safety in the 159th Legislative District, state Rep. Carol Kazeem, D-Delaware, helped secure $475,000 in state funding for a transportation improvement project in Upper Chichester Township through the disbursement of Multimodal Transportation Fund dollars by the state’s Commonwealth Financing Authority.

The $475,000 will be used for streetscape improvements along the Chichester Avenue and Meetinghouse Road intersection corridor in Upper Chichester Township, Delaware County.

“I am proud to have helped secure this critical funding that will improve pedestrian safety in Upper Chichester Township,” Kazeem said. “Thanks to this $475,000 in state funding, pedestrians on Chichester Avenue and Meetinghouse Road will be safer walking, day or night. This project aligns with one of my focuses as state representative: to increase pedestrian safety through smart investments in our transportation infrastructure.”

The Commonwealth Financing Authority was established in 2004 as an independent agency of the Department of Community and Economic Development to administer Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus packages.
