$400K grant for our area

Rep. Justin Fleming February 28, 2025 | 3:57 PM

Dear Neighbor,

Capitol Office Relocation

My Capitol Office has moved to room 27A in the East Wing. I also have a new legislative assistant working in this office, Keontay Hodge. I look forward to working with Keontay, and I thank my outgoing legislative assistant, Samantha Pugh, for her commitment to helping the 105^th District and wish her well as she begins to assist some of my colleagues with their Capitol offices.

$400K grant for our area

Earlier this week, I helped secure $400,000 in state funding for a transportation improvement project in Lower Paxton Township.

The grant funding is being used to improve roads in the Union Square Industrial Park that have deteriorated over time and are being negatively impacted by heavy truck traffic. Affected roads include Briarsdale Road, Katie Court, Fenton Avenue, Dana Drive and Corey Road.

I work closely with our business community and township officials to secure the funding necessary to improve our local infrastructure. Our business owners have been dealing with the negative impact of the heavy truck traffic on these local roads and on their businesses. This state funding will help alleviate those issues. I am proud to help secure funds to improve our community for businesses and residents alike.

Budget Updates

As a member of the PA House Appropriations Committee, I’ve had another jam-packed week of budget hearings. Here’s a few highlights:

At a PA House Appropriations hearing, I asked the Pennsylvania Department of Education about funding and participation rates for structured literacy and early intervention programs in schools across the commonwealth. These programs make a huge difference for students, and I strongly support any efforts to boost them further!

I’m all for increasing funding for programs like the State Food Purchase Program and Agriculture Surplus System that will help feed families across the commonwealth. With the future of federal funding for food programs in question, we need to step up here in PA to fill the gap.

Treatment courts save lives and serve as a great alternative for people that just need a helping hand to turn their lives around. Imagine how many more lives could be changed if we invested in them rather than just sending more people to jail.
