POTTSTOWN, Feb. 24 – New grant funding of $450,000 is coming to East Coventry Township and Spring City Borough for bridge and crosswalk improvements, state Rep. Paul Friel announced today.
The grants – approved by the Common Financing Authority under the Multimodal Transportation Fund – include $350,000 to rehabilitate Ellis Woods Road Bridge in East Coventry Township and $100,000 to improve two crosswalk locations along Main Street in Spring City Borough.
“The funding is outstanding news for East Coventry and Spring City, which will now save local funds thanks to state-level financing,” said Friel, D-Chester. “Funding for Ellis Woods Bridge has been highly anticipated, and the added protections at crosswalks in Spring City will ensure that people are safe walking downtown.”
Friel said that his office is happy to help organizations and entities apply for state funding. There are many programs offered by the state to help drive tax dollars to the communities they serve.
“From transportation projects to environmental improvements, there is a wealth of resources available from your state government,” Friel said. “If you are interested in helping locate and apply for grants or low-interest loans for a public project, my office can help you.”
