We have some more “good news” to share.

On Wednesday, the Butler County Commissioners awarded Penn Township a Butler County PA Vehicle Registration Local Use $5.00 Tire Fee Grant in the amount of $50,000 for the new traffic light at Route 8 and Airport Road.  This grant is in addition to the Pennsylvania Automated Red-Light Enforcement (ARLR) grant not to exceed $446,706.  This represents 79.6% of the total cost.  Penn Township’s “Local Share” is 20.4% of the cost and is paid from Penn Township’s PA Act 13 (oil and gas revenue) and the Traffic Impact Fee Infrastructure Funds.

The Butler County Commissioners also awarded Penn Township a Butler County Parks and Recreation Grant in the amount of $7,500 with a “Local Match” of $2,500 for stormwater piping materials to be used in the Harcrest Park Phase II development.   This is in addition to the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) grant of $300,000 with a “Local Match” of $300,000 paid from Penn Township’s PA Act 13 (oil and gas revenue) and the Traffic Impact Fee Infrastructure Funds. 

We greatly appreciate the Butler County Commissioners continued support for these important infrastructure projects.
