HARRISBURG, Feb. 24 – Two grant awards totaling $468,694 will help an ongoing road improvement project in Boggs Township as well as the realignment of Spring Valley Road located in Benner Township, state Rep. Paul Takac, D-Centre, announced today.
Boggs Township was awarded a $218,694 grant that will be utilized to complete a road improvement project on Curtin Hollow Road. A $250,000 grant will help fund a realignment and enhancement project along Spring Vallery Road in Benner Township.
“I am excited to announce these multimodal transportation grant awards to support two important and impactful projects in our area,” Takac said. “The realignment of Spring Valley Road in Benner Township, near the Shiloh Road exit on I-99 is a key piece of a much larger effort to redevelop and upgrade the Shiloh Road corridor and surrounding areas between the bypass and the Nittany Mall, while the second project will help improve public safety and transportation along Curtain Hollow Road in Boggs Township.
“Projects like these demonstrate our ongoing commitment to deliver results for the people and communities of Centre County and the 82nd District,” he added.
The grants were awarded through the Multimodal Transportation Fund, administered by the Commonwealth Financing Authority, which provides grants to encourage economic development and ensure that a safe and reliable system of transportation is available to residents of the commonwealth.
