HARRISBURG – State Rep. Mike Hanna, D-Clinton/Centre, today announced a $371,000 grant for Renovo Borough in Clinton County as part of approximately $53 million in total Multimodal grant funding approved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority.

Renovo Borough will use this funding for sidewalk and curb construction and project administration. The project calls for nearly one mile of reconstruction throughout the borough.
“Many of the curbs and sidewalks are in poor condition in Renovo,” said Hanna. “This funding will provide for added accessibility and safety.”

Renovo Borough plans to use Multi-Modal Funds to construct new pedestrian sidewalks, ADA compliant curb ramps, cross walks and curbing along Third, Fourth, Fifth, 11th, and 12th streets. The project limits extend from Ontario to Erie avenues. These streets are major connectors and are heavily traveled by Renovo residents.

Hanna said the total project will cost approximately $530,000. In addition to the grant funding the borough is receiving today, $159,000 in local match funding will be used for paving and an easement on Fourth St.

In early 2016, Hanna said Renovo was awarded $750,000 in grant funding through the state’s Community Development Block Grant funds to, in part, improve and repair the storm water, water and sewer systems on Ontario Avenue from Fourth St. to 11thSt.

“As a legislator, it means a whole lot to me to be able to bring taxpayer dollars back to our community,” said Hanna. “By increasing mobility and access for all residents, including those with disabilities, these improvements will have a lasting impact in our community for years to come.”
The project is expected to be completed in 2017.

The CFA was established in 2004 as an independent body under DCED for the purpose of administering Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus packages. The Multimodal Transportation Fund provides grants to encourage economic development and ensure that a safe and reliable system of transportation is available to the residents of the commonwealth.
