A new, five-level parking garage in New Hope is one of several projects included in some $7.5-million in state grants awarded Tuesday to wide-ranging economic redevelopment projects throughout Bucks County.
The 350-car garage will receive about $1.75 million in grant funding and is expected to help make the historic borough more accessible to visitors, a news release from state Sen. Steve Santarsiero states.
Parking has long been considered a challenge in the riverfront borough that include shops, restaurants and the Bucks County Playhouse. New Hope s redevelopment strategy relies heavily on bringing visitors from around Bucks and throughout the East Coast to its business and entertainment district.
Record-breaking rains fell last week and brought flooding and some property damage.

Mud was sent into yards in much of the neighborhood.
Greg Roth told the assembly that he appreciated the public works department and others with the CBJ who are helping the neighborhood clean up, Whatever we can do to get some kind of assessment to what exactly has happened up here and what we can do next to prevent this kind of damage in the future would be appreciated.
Roth said 3.7 inches of rain fell in the neighborhood.
