MEDIA, March 26 — State Rep. Jennifer O’Mara today announced that $725,595 in state grants have been awarded to her Delaware County district.

Funding has been distributed as follows:

  • Springfield Township: $354,978 for improvements at the Powell Road, Leamy Avenue intersection.

“Multiple residents have brought up concerns regarding these roadways to my office, ranging from pedestrian safety to potholes and visibility issues,” O’Mara said. “I’m happy to share that I worked to bring over half a million home to address these problems and spearhead these infrastructure improvements right here in our community.”
