Funding for two projects in the Bristol area was announced last week.
State Rep Tina Davis (D-Bucks) worked with state Senator Steve Santarsiero to secure these grants through the Commonwealth Financing Authority,
Bristol Borough will receive $90,000 for the Howell Street vegetated swale to help reduce sediment discharge to the Mill Creek Watershed.
“I wholeheartedly supported funding for this project. It is crucial that we work to reduce sediment pollution in the Mill Creek Watershed and, in doing so, protect our streams and aquatic life. I am pleased that the state agreed that this was a project worth investing in,” Davis said.

In addition, Bristol Riverside Theater will receive $71,653 from the PA Arts and Culture Recovery Program.
“The arts play an important role in our cultural identity, and the Bristol Riverside Theatre has been a local beacon for the Bristol area’s arts scene. I was pleased to see it get this funding, ” Davis said.
