State Rep. Steve Malagari has announced four grants totaling $1.3 million have been awarded by the Commonwealth Financing Authority for infrastructure projects in his district.
“Faulty infrastructure not only costs taxpayer dollars, but jeopardizes public safety and health,” Malagari said. “These investments will play a major role in keeping our communities safer, our water cleaner and our sewer systems up to code.”
The funding comes from The Multimodal Transportation Fund and the Statewide Local Share Account Program. The following projects have received funding:
Hatfield Township - Hatfield Public Safety Facility - $150,000

Hatfield Township - Hatfield Stormwater Management Study - $200,000
