I’m excited to announce more than $1.3 million in Local Share Account funding has been secured for seven projects across the 107th Legislative District.
These investments will help communities in Northumberland and Schuylkill counties strengthen emergency services, improve public safety and make needed upgrades to local infrastructure and community facilities.
Projects receiving funding include:
• Hegins-Hubley Authority: $277,733 to improve the fire protection system in Hegins Township through the installation of four new fire hydrants, standardized Stortz adapters, a portable emergency generator, a bulk water fill station and a 12-inch water main extension.
• Hegins Area Ambulance Association: $300,000 through Hubley Township for the purchase of a new ambulance to replace an aging and unreliable primary vehicle. The association responds to hundreds of calls annually across more than 100 square miles of rural territory.
• Kulpmont Borough: $71,139 to purchase and fully equip a police vehicle to strengthen law enforcement operations and public safety.
• Marion Heights Borough: $123,826 to replace an aging municipal maintenance vehicle with a vehicle equipped with strobe lights, a steel plow, salt spreader and dump chute.
• Pine Grove Borough: $196,159 for renovations to the borough’s municipal building, including a new roof and ADA-compliant entrance door, along with engineering and administrative costs.
• Shamokin Redevelopment Authority: $192,926 for the second phase of renovations to the Shamokin Police Department, including repairs to structural deficiencies, interview and holding areas, flooring and other improvements to the station.
• Shamokin Township: $175,000 to purchase a 2026 Kenworth 4x4 dump truck with a plow upfit to replace a mechanically unreliable 2006 International 4x4 dump truck. The vehicle will support road maintenance in Shamokin Township and through cooperative agreements with Rockefeller and Upper Augusta townships.
These investments will help our local communities keep essential services running, maintain safe and reliable infrastructure and provide the equipment our first responders and municipal workers need to serve residents.
