Rep. K.C. Tomlinson (R-Bucks) and Sen. Frank Farry (R-Bucks) announced the Bucks County Free Library branch based in Bensalem has received a $281,662 grant from the Pennsylvania Broadband Development Authority’s (PBDA) Multi-Purpose Community Facilities Program (MPCFP).
This funding will enable the library to implement steps in its facilities plan to maintain critical systems that keep the facility safe, welcoming and open to the public.
“It is great to see this grant funding approved for the Bensalem branch of the Bucks County Free Library,” said Tomlinson. “This funding will help them make necessary updates to the building infrastructure so it can continue to serve the Bensalem community.”
“The Bucks County Free Library Branch in Bensalem has been a great resource and community hub to the residents of Bensalem for many years. I am pleased they were approved for state funding to make the necessary improvements to continue to provide a safe and welcoming space our community for many years to come,” said Farry
Grants from this program are available to community anchor institutions and units of local government to fund community projects that construct, acquire or improve facilities (shared office space, recreation centers, schools, libraries, etc.). The MPCFP is funded pursuant to the Coronavirus Capital Projects Fund (Capital Projects Fund) established under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
