Posted November 19, 2024
The Chester County Planning Commission's Multimodal Transportation Planning Director, Brian Styche, shared some exciting news about recent transportation funding awards at CCPC's November Board Meeting.
Statewide Local Share Account
Through the PA Department of Community and Economic Development's Statewide Local Share Account, Styche noted that of the $346,075,488 total statewide funds awarded in October, Chester County received $12,848,320 towards 47 projects throughout the county. This includes everything from road and park improvements, to upgraded utilities and equipment, and more. One notable project, however, is just over $333,000 in funding for the county's Tourism Interactive Kiosks, which is part of the county's Heritage Tourism Plan and planning for the nation's upcoming 250th.
