Rep. Ann Flood has announced that nearly $3 million in state funding has been allocated to Northampton County residents. The Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) approved the grants at its recent board meeting, under the Small Water and Sewer Program (SWS) and the Water Supply, Sanitary Sewer, and Storm Water Projects Program (H2O).

Flood expressed satisfaction with the allocation: “I am pleased our local community has secured this critical funding. This substantial investment will help to repair and maintain crucial parts of our local infrastructure,” she stated. She emphasized the importance of efficient sewer and water systems for community well-being.

The grant distribution includes $189,786 for Bushkill Township to address stormwater infrastructure across 10 sites. Bangor Borough Authority received $600,000 for wastewater treatment plant improvements and an additional $150,000 for sewer main and pump station replacements in Bangor Borough and Washington Township.

Portland Borough was awarded $424,708 for stormwater enhancements along Main Street and Market Street, as well as $425,000 for sewage treatment plant upgrades within Portland Borough.

East Bangor Municipal Authority secured $367,633 to construct a new water storage tank in Upper Mount Bethel Township alongside a $150,000 grant for water meter upgrades in East Bangor Borough.

Roseto Borough Sewer Authority obtained $150,000 dedicated to inspecting and repairing sewer lines in Roseto Borough.

The CFA operates as an independent agency under the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED), managing Pennsylvania’s economic stimulus initiatives since its inception in 2004.
