Bristol Borough is receiving funds for a storm pipe replacement project along the Green Lane corridor. The project will reduce the recurring flooding along the Green Lane corridor (from Bristol Pike to Radcliffe Street), including the Amtrak overpass and the surrounding industrial, residential, and commercial properties.
“Flooding is a serious and growing concern for communities across Pennsylvania, and investing in stormwater infrastructure is one of the most important things we can do to protect our residents and our local economy,” said Santarsiero.
“This funding will help address several very real needs in our community, and the associated projects will help Bristol Borough better manage flooding,” Davis said.
The International Brotherhood of Boilermakers Local Lodge 13 is receiving funds to replace and upgrade the aging HVAC systems at Boilermakers Local Lodge 13’s Union Hall to improve climate control, energy efficiency, and safety.
“Strong workforce development depends on having places where workers can learn the skills they need to succeed,” Santarsiero, said.
Mental Health Partnerships is receiving funds to purchase three minivans, to be used for mobile outreach efforts aimed at homeless individuals who are experiencing mental health crisis in Bristol Township.
These are much-needed investments, and I’m honored to endorse efforts that make a real difference for the people of Bucks County,” Davis said
Levittown Fire Company No. 2 is receiving funds for the purchase of a new fire truck to be used in Bristol Township. The company’s current specialized fire truck is approaching the end of its useful lifespan which could limit the department’s ability to effectively manage fires, said the law makers
“Our firefighters need reliable equipment to respond effectively when our community faces a fire or other emergency,” said Santarsiero.
