Several rural Lycoming County municipalities are slated to receive federal funding to help offset the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, per the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
The $350 billion dollars included in the funding package will be allocated by state governments to local municipal governments by population.
However, local municipalities are still in the process of putting their heads together to determine how to apply the funding in their respective areas.
Muncy Borough has been allocated $238,470, however, according to Ed Feigles, Muncy Borough Council president, the borough has not received any official notice of the grant.
“Small municipalities face financial stressors from many sectors,” Feigles said. “Ultimately we must wait for the terms of the grant to be revealed before speculating on where to apply the funds.”

JERSEY SHORE Jersey Shore Borough voted 7-1 to continue discussions about the potential for a joint “public safety building” with Citizen’s Hose Co. and the Tiadaghton Valley Regional Police force at its Monday night meeting.
Janet Barnhart voted no.
The regional police force previously had selected vacant borough land to build a headquarters on. Cody Hoover, borough manager, said that while the new plan is in the early stages of discussion, the three entities would not look to build a new building, but rather move into an already existing building within the borough.
If the discussion for this collaboration between the three entities does not work, the regional police would return to its plan of building a headquarters on the vacant land that was previously secured.
