HARRISBURG, Nov. 12 – State Rep. Paul Friel today congratulated Spring City Borough for receiving a $350,000 Department of Conservation and Natural Resources Grant for development of Spring City Boat Launch Park.
The Community Conservation Partnership Program grant will go toward streambank restoration, construction of a pavilion, picnic area, pedestrian walkways and parking area. It will also support the installation of lights and security cameras, ADA access, landscaping, project signage and other site improvements.
"Grant funding is the key that allows us to upgrade our public boat launch, ensuring safe access, cleaner facilities and sustainable preservation for everyone who loves our waterways,” said Friel, D-Chester. “With these investments, we enhance the community's connection to nature while protecting it for generations to come."
DCNR’s C2P2 offers a wide range of grant and technical assistance programs to help Pennsylvania communities, land conservancies and non-profit organizations plan, acquire and develop natural resources in the state.
In addition to the funding awarded in Friel’s district, more than $8.2 million was awarded to 24 organizations that fund community conservation projects statewide.
