The Pennsylvania Redevelopment Assistance Program recently awarded $2.45 million in state funding to Cranberry and Jackson townships.

Cranberry Township will receive $1.45 million to expand the UPMC Lemieux Sports Complex, and Jackson Township will receive $1 million to renovate the Steamfitters Technology Center.

“I am grateful to have advocated for these funds, which will greatly benefit the communities I have the honor of serving,” State Rep.
