HARRISBURG, March 17 – State Rep. Patty Kim, D-Dauphin, announced today that the Commonwealth Financing Authority awarded more than $2.2 million in state funding to six local projects.

The following projects have been awarded funding:

  • Harrisburg Regional Chamber & CREDC - Scottish Rite - $1,000,000. The Scottish Rite Cathedral Masonic Temple has been awarded LSA funds for renovations to its temple including the replacement of 17 roofs, 66 windows, the insulation and PVC membrane roofing, and the entrances with automatic doors and ADA-accessibility.

The Whitaker Center has been awarded LSA funds for upgrades to its HVAC system and electrical control components. The current HVAC system is beyond its operational life expectancy.
