Beaver County Times
Beaver County development projects in Aliquippa and Monaca were awarded $1.5 million in grant funding under the Redevelopment and Capital Assistance Program, state Rep. Rob Matzie announced.
The grants include $1 million for the redevelopment of a 40-acre brownfield and construction of a 250,000-square-foot, high-tech manufacturing building along the Ohio River in Aliquippa, the release said.
In addition, $500,000 will be used to build a new 27,000-square-foot, two-story Monaca Civic Center on Pacific Avenue in the borough to house police, fire and administrative departments, the release said.
“The funding to Aliquippa will allow us to transform a dead brownfield into a thriving manufacturing area, which will provide job opportunities and economic revitalization for the entire area,” said Matzie, D-16, Ambridge.
HAVERFORD State Rep. Greg Vitali, D-Delaware/Montgomery, announced a $1 million state grant from the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program that will support the Haverford Township Free Public Library.
âWe are hoping to bring new life and space to the local free public library,â Vitali said. âLibraries are one of the few places left in this world where you are not expected to pay anything to enjoy their facilities. We have to do everything we can to keep these spaces open for the public, but also ensure that they have the means to stay up to date and provide us with the services we need. This funding allows them to take those steps forward.â
