Rep. Steve Samuelson October 22, 2024 | 4:53 PM
HARRISBURG, Oct. 22 – State Rep. Steve Samuelson and state Sen. Nick Miller today obtained a $570,467 grant for First Responders Park in Hanover Township, Northampton County. The grant was approved by the state’s Commonwealth Financing Authority.
First Responders Park comprises 24.78 acres but currently only has portable storage and toilets. The grant will be used to add permanent restrooms with disability access, a concession area and storage facilities for equipment used by the township and organizations that use the park. The addition of a fieldhouse will continue to enhance the park.
Today’s grant will be used for construction, engineering and administrative costs.
The Statewide Local Share Account funding comes from the PA Race Horse Development and Gaming Act, which provides for the distribution of gaming revenues through the CFA to support projects in the public interest within Pennsylvania.
In May, Samuelson and Miller secured an additional $100,704 grant for the park through the CFA.
