Senator Camera Bartolotta has announced that the 46th District will receive nearly $5.7 million in state grants from the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA). These funds are intended to enhance public safety, create recreational opportunities, and renovate community spaces.

"This funding will improve communities in Greene and Washington counties, lowering the costs for infrastructure projects that can be quite expensive. It will also be used to increase safety by addressing blight and offer people great places to gather both indoors and outdoors," stated Bartolotta.

The grants were allocated through two programs managed by the CFA. The first set of grants was awarded via the Local Share Account (LSA) Program, which supports projects related to public interest, community improvement, and economic development with funds generated from casino gaming revenue.

Additionally, two grants were distributed through the Public School Facilities Improvement Grant (PSFIG) Program. This initiative provides financial support to public school districts and area career and technical schools for facility improvements.

All these projects received funding through the CFA, an independent agency under Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development responsible for administering numerous economic development and community improvement initiatives across the state.
