LSA Panel Makes Their Recommendations

Hearings for Local Share Account funds consideration ended on Friday morning and the 10 member committee approved 42 projects for funding. Chairman Jeff Kotula listed all of the projects in a live streamed vote that awarded $6,603,315 in funds derived from gaming revenues as required by the Pennsylvania Race Horse Development and Gaming Act. The recommendations are spread along many interests. Some of the grants recommended were façade improvement programs in Washington and Canonsburg, a public access improvement project at Meadowcroft Rock Shelter, a collision repair spray booth at Washington Area Career and Technology Center and a trash compactor project for the City Mission. The City of Washington was recommended for its Code Enforcement Demolition program and the Washington County Home Rehabilitation Access and Buyer Assistance Program was recommended as well. The list of projects will now be forwarded to the Washington County Commissioners for their approval.
