Thank you to Senator Stefano and the local leaders who worked to secure these important investments for communities throughout Fayette County. These projects will help make our county a safer, stronger and more accessible place to live, work and visit.
Proud to announce that more than $8.2 million in Statewide Local Share Account (LSA) funding is coming to Bedford, Fayette and Somerset counties, and Scottdale Borough!
These funds (shared through the Commonwealth Financing Authority and made available through proceeds from online gaming revenue) support projects that serve the public interest across Pennsylvania. Here in our communities, that means better roads and water systems, stronger emergency response, updated municipal equipment and improved parks and public facilities.
I’m proud to help bring these resources home and support the local leaders working to make our communities better places to live, work, visit and raise a family.
