Rep. Joe Hogan and Sen. Frank Farry have announced that Middletown Township will receive a $146,283 grant from the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA). The funding is designated for pedestrian safety improvements on Langhorne-Yardley Road.

The grant is part of the CFA's Multimodal Transportation Fund, which aims to promote economic development and provide a safe transportation system in Pennsylvania. The fund supports projects related to the development, rehabilitation, and enhancement of transportation assets, including streetscape, lighting, sidewalk enhancement, pedestrian safety, connectivity of transportation assets, and transit-oriented development.

"I am pleased to see Middletown Township receive this important funding," said Hogan. "Many discussions with constituents, conversations with Middletown officials and my own personal experience has shown a need to help alleviate traffic congestion throughout our community. These funds will help to encourage other means of transportation while keeping pedestrians safe. I want to thank Sen. Farry and Middletown Township for their assistance in securing these funds."

Senator Farry also expressed satisfaction with the grant's approval: "I am pleased to have helped secure this funding for Middletown Township," he said. "This important project will greatly benefit our community and ensure the safety of our residents."
