State Rep. Joe Hogan (R-Bucks) said Monday that Northampton and Middletown townships have both received “Green Light Go” program grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT).

Northampton Township is receiving $368,300 for updated signal equipment in Newtown at Richboro Road (Route 332) and Holland Road (SR 2067), as well as at Richboro Road (Route 322) and Rock Way/Spring Garden Mill Road. Middletown Township is receiving $138,887 for updated signal equipment throughout the township.

“I am very happy to see both Middletown Township and Northampton Township receive these grants,” Hogan said. “The safety improvements will help keep our drivers safe on the road and lessen traffic congestions at key points in the area.”

Green Light-Go grants are provided as reimbursement to municipalities for updates to improve the efficiency and operation of existing traffic signals. These projects will be funded through the appropriation for fiscal year 2023-24.
