Senator Doug Mastriano and Representative Chad Reichard have announced that the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) will provide $2.4 million in grants for community projects in Franklin County.
Mastriano stated, “Investing in infrastructure is investing in the future of Franklin County. These projects will strengthen the foundation of our communities by improving essential services and enhancing transportation networks. I’m proud to work alongside Rep. Reichard and the Commonwealth Financing Authority to deliver these resources that will help families, businesses and local governments thrive for generations to come.”
Reichard added, “These grants are strategic investments in Franklin County’s economic future. Reliable water and sewer systems and modern transportation infrastructure are critical to attracting employers, supporting existing businesses and ensuring our communities can grow responsibly. This funding helps lay the groundwork for long-term job creation and private investment.”
The grants include awards from both the PA Small Water and Sewer Program, which supports improvements or repairs to water supply or sanitary sewer systems, and the Multimodal Transportation Fund, aimed at promoting economic development through safe transportation networks.
Senator Mastriano represents Adams and Franklin counties in the Pennsylvania Senate. He leads committees on veterans affairs, emergency preparedness, and local government, drawing on his experience as a retired U.S. Army colonel with a Ph.D. in military history. He also advances initiatives for veterans through legislative actions and community efforts as outlined on his official website.
The CFA operates as an independent agency within the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, managing various economic stimulus programs for the state.
