Mid-state projects get state funding boost
Listen to this articleTwo mid-state projects are getting funding through the PA SITES program of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development.
Governor Josh Shapiro and DCED Secretary Rick Siger announced that the state is investing $64 million in 11 projects to build shovel-ready industrial sites across the state.
In Cumberland County a total of $10,227,830 will go to Real Estate Collaborative Frog Switch, LLC. A grant of $6,136,698 and a loan of $4,091,132 will be used to redevelop the former Frog Switch & Manufacturing Company property and includes environmental assessment and remediation, asbestos abatement, demolition of approximately 40 existing buildings, and site improvements.
In Dauphin County a $247,796 grant will go to Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority to develop a plan for the development of the Crawford Power Generation Station for potential aeronautical use.
” In this round of PA SITES funding, DCED received 66 applications requesting more than $377 million ― demonstrating the need for these investments, said Siger. “When we were developing the Economic Development Strategy, we took feedback from site selector experts who told us Pennsylvania needs more readily available sites for growing businesses to see Pennsylvania as a viable option. That’s why the Governor created PA SITES.”
