Rep. Joe Emrick announced that the 137th District will receive $1 million in state reinvestment for local transportation infrastructure projects as part of multimodal funding grants across Pennsylvania.
Bethlehem Township has been awarded $341,963 to install an emergency traffic signal at the intersection of Ninth Street and Freemansburg Avenue. Lower Nazareth Township will receive $725,000 for intersection improvements at Butztown Road.
“These grants represent a significant state reinvestment into our community, and I am proud to have worked with local officials to help secure this funding for these critical projects,” Emrick stated.
The criteria for grant awards include safety benefits, regional economic conditions, technical and financial feasibility, job creation, energy efficiency, and operational sustainability. The Multimodal Transportation Fund aims to encourage economic development and ensure a safe and reliable transportation system is available to residents of the Commonwealth.
