Rep. Zach Mako (R-Lehigh/Northampton) announced today that a $625,000 grant has been awarded to King’s Business Park in Schnecksville for the construction of a two-lane roundabout. The funding, sourced from the Multimodal Transportation Fund under the Commonwealth Financing Authority, aims to facilitate economic development and ensure a secure transportation system in the Commonwealth.
“This area has been growing by leaps and bounds,” Mako remarked, highlighting the necessity for infrastructure improvements to accommodate the increasing traffic flow. He emphasized, “The roundabout will help keep existing traffic moving along with the additional traffic the planned business park will create. I’m pleased my advocacy for this project paid off as it will save motorists time.”
The proposed roundabout will be situated at the intersection of routes 309 and 873, aiming to enhance traffic management in the area. The business park, spanning 12 acres, is slated to feature establishments such as AutoZone, Wawa, and a medical office building.
The 183rd District, overseen by Representative Zachary Mako, comprises various townships and boroughs in Lehigh and Northampton counties, including Lowhill, North Whitehall, Slatington, Allen, East Allen, Lehigh, Moore, Bath, North Catasauqua, Northampton, and Walnutport.
