On Tuesday, Senator Maria Collett (D-12 Montgomery) announced $249,600 in Act 13 grant funding for five community projects across the 12th District that will improve local outdoor spaces and watersheds.

“Parks, local trails, and recreation spaces make our communities such wonderful places to live, work, and play,” said Collett. “This grant funding will ensure these five project locations are exceptionally developed and maintained for our neighbors, all while bringing new jobs to the 12th. I look forward to seeing them come to fruition so each of us has access to quality outdoor spaces.”

Act 13 grant recipients in the 12th District include:

  • Lansdale Borough – $32,400 for Neshaminy Basin Streambank restoration
