Over $800,000 was awarded to community development projects in Carbon County through the Monroe County Contiguous Local Share Account, according to Rep. Doyle Heffley (R-122) and Sen. Dave Argall (R-29).
“By restoring old buildings to productive use in Lansford and encouraging some of the many visitors to Jim Thorpe to also travel to the new visitors center planned for Summit Hill, these highly competitive grants will improve quality of life for people in Carbon County,” said Argall. “I’m thankful for my partnership with Rep. Heffley in turning these requests into realities.”
“This competitive grant program is bringing valuable funds back to our communities,” said Heffley. “I’m pleased that Sen. Argall and I could collaborate to help these projects come to fruition.”
Local Share Account funding is generated by casino gambling and redistributed to improve communities in the surrounding area. Funding is awarded by the Commonwealth Financing Authority, an independent agency created by the General Assembly to administer investments in Pennsylvania’s economic growth.
