More than $700,000 has been allocated to enhance outdoor recreation in Carbon County. This announcement comes from Rep. Doyle Heffley (R-122) and Sen. Dave Argall (R-29), who collaborated with local leaders to secure the funding.

“These projects will bring lasting benefits to Carbon County and its surrounding communities by enhancing local parks, improving accessibility, and supporting environmental conservation,” said Heffley. “From revitalizing recreational spaces and providing ADA access, to preserving natural lands and expanding trail networks, these investments will create healthier, more vibrant communities across Carbon and surrounding counties, while developing regional collaboration and sustainable development.”

Senator Argall expressed his gratitude for the competitive funding: “I’m grateful this highly competitive funding will improve opportunities for us all to enjoy the beauty of our area.”

The grants were awarded through the Community Conservation Partnerships Program, which aims to support projects that enhance parks, recreation facilities, and conservation efforts throughout Pennsylvania.
