December 18, 2025

HARRISBURG – Rep. Joe Hogan (R-Bucks) and Sen. Frank Farry (R-Bucks) today announced multiple projects in both the 142nd House District and 6th Senate District have received grant funding from the Pennsylvania Local Share Account (LSA) program and the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Greenway, Trails and Recreation Program.

The projects that received LSA grant funding are as follows:

- The Bucks County Industrial Development Authority will receive a $500,000 grant for the construction of an all-abilities splashpad and athletic fields at the PlayaRaya campus located in Northampton Township, Bucks County. This initial construction phase of the project covers the development of the campus's outdoor amenities, including basketball and pickleball courts; a soccer field; walking trail; equestrian space; specialty sensory-friendly playground; and sitework, including stormwater infrastructure and parking lot installation.
- The Bucks County Water and Sewer Authority will receive a $140,860 grant for a meter replacement project in Middletown and Lower Southampton townships. The project will replace old water meters throughout Middletown and Lower Southampton townships with an Automatic Meter Reading System.
- Langhorne Borough will receive a $315,000 grant to fund the revitalization of The Mayors’ Playground. The focus of this project is the rehabilitation of soccer fields, basketball courts and updating the current playground.
- Lower Southampton Township will receive a $142,500 grant to replace three aging HVAC units at the Feasterville Library.
- Middletown Township will receive a $566,640 grant to replace the roof of the Middletown Township Municipal Center.
- Northampton Township will receive a $159,000 grant to enhance and improve four pedestrian crossings across the township near elementary and middle schools.

The project receiving DCED grant funding is as follows:

- Penndel Borough will receive a $170,000 grant to fund the construction of a safe and accessible off-road walking path to be used by residents at Penndel Memorial Park.

“These projects will save taxpayers money, and for most of them, give residents affordable recreational opportunities right in their local communities. I’m proud to have worked with my colleagues to bring back over $1.9 million in investments for our community and look forward to doing more for our families,” said Hogan.

“It is always encouraging to see funding awarded to so many worthwhile projects in our community,” said Farry. “I was proud to advocate, along with Rep. Hogan, for these projects and look forward to seeing them come to life as they will enhance accessibility, strengthen our neighborhoods and improve quality of life for residents.”

The PA Race Horse Development and Gaming Act (Act 2004-71) provides for the distribution of gaming revenues through the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) to support projects in the public interest within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for these grants through the LSA program.

The funding for the DCED program comes from Act 13 of 2012, which establishes the Marcellus Legacy Fund and allocates funds to the Commonwealth Financing Authority for planning, acquisition, development, rehabilitation and repair of greenways, recreational trails, open space, parks and beautification projects.
