Krueger announces $53,895 grant for repaving project in Aston

HARRISBURG, Jan. 28 – State Rep. Leanne Krueger, D-Delaware, today announced a $53,895 state grant that will bring a smoother ride for parents, kids and community residents on their way to the Aston-Middletown Little League ballfield.

“Bringing our tax dollars back home for projects that residents and public officials have identified as important to the community is one of my priorities as state legislator,” Krueger said. “The current parking lot around the Aston-Middletown Little League ballfield has deteriorated over time and now has numerous potholes, cracks and rough patches. I was happy to support this grant that will enhance the ballfields and give those who are coming to play ball a smoother, safer ride.” 

Krueger said that the Little League has been serving the Aston-Middletown area since 1950 and is an important site for a program that serves families from both Aston and Middletown townships, with three main fields. She said the grant was important because it will help to fix significant infrastructure while allowing the baseball association to keep registration costs low for players and their parents.

The grant comes from the state’s Greenways, Trails and Recreation Program, which is administered by the Commonwealth Financing Authority.
