PRESS RELEASE
HARRISBURG, Pennsylvania (Oct. 22, 2024) – State Rep. Kristin Marcell (R-Bucks) and Sen. Frank Farry (R-Bucks) are proud to announce that several important projects in Bucks County have been awarded funding through the Local Share Account (LSA) grant program. The grants, issued by the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA), will fund public safety and infrastructure improvements vital to the region.
“These grants represent significant investments in our community’s safety, infrastructure and quality of life,” said Marcell. “I’m thrilled our local municipalities will benefit from this funding, which will positively impact the well-being of our residents and ensure continued safety and security in the district.”
“We are committed to improving the quality of life for our residents by helping with funding for critical infrastructure and public safety, said Farry. “Whether it’s upgrading sewer lines, supporting our first responders or enhancing community parks, these projects will benefit our community for years to come.”
The fire department grant awardees are as follows:
Warwick Township: Aerial Platform Replacement
The township secured $1 million to replace “Tower 66,” the aging aerial platform used by the Warwick Fire Company. The current equipment has experienced repeated mechanical failures, jeopardizing public safety during emergency situations. This funding will help the fire department acquire new equipment to ensure reliable service in critical fire and rescue operations.
Wrightstown Township: Pumper Replacement for Lingohocken Fire Company
Wrightstown Township, on behalf of the Lingohocken Fire Company, received $1 million to replace a 20+-year-old pumper. Given the absence of public water in the area, this apparatus is essential for maintaining fire safety and protecting residents in Wrightstown and neighboring municipalities.
