January 20, 2026

HARRISBURG – Rep. Jill Cooper (R-Westmoreland) today announced several municipalities in the 55th Legislative District will receive a cumulative nearly $3 million in grants approved through the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA).

“The costs of improving and expanding our infrastructure are always very high, and local governments work hard to invest in these projects as well as meet day-to-day expenditures,” Cooper said. “These are important investments, and I was thrilled to work with Sens. Kim Ward (R-Westmoreland) and Joe Pittman (R-Armstrong/Indiana/Jefferson/Westmoreland) in seeing these projects get prioritized.”

The CFA is an independent agency of the Department of Community and Economic Development. It distributes funding through several programs dedicated to economic growth. The grants awarded are through the Multimodal Transportation and the Small Water and Sewer grant programs.

In all, $2,953,569 was awarded to the 55th Legislative District, which includes:
