Rep. Ann Flood of Northampton has announced the allocation of $1.5 million in funding for a significant project at the Portland Power Plant in the 138th District. This grant is provided through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP).

The funds will be used by Upper Mount Bethel Township in Northampton County to address hazardous materials at the power plant site and to demolish one of its boilers.

“This critical investment will enable Northampton County to safely address hazardous materials at the Portland Power Plant site and proceed with the demolition of one of the boilers, paving the way for future development and ensuring a healthier environment for our community,” said Flood. “As a state legislator, I am committed to securing necessary funding for our district, and I appreciate everyone’s support in helping to obtain these grants.”

The RACP is a Commonwealth grant program managed by the Office of the Budget, focusing on regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects.
