LSA Committee Recommends $10M For 67 Projects

The Washington County Local Share Account Review Committee is recommending a total of 67 projects to receive more than $10-Million.  The grants come from a portion of gaming revenue generated at the Hollywood Casino at the Meadows.   The list includes local governments, non-profits and other eligible entities throughout Washington County.  Washington County Commissioners Chairman Nick Sherman says “from improvements to parks and facilities to upgrades in municipal sewage and classroom environments, these diverse recommendations will enhance our communities by completing and jump-starting essential projects”.  Officials say the grants will be leveraged by more than $68.3 million in additional funding. Among the projects: $500,000 to the Washington Wild Things for upgrades at their ballpark, $500,00 to the Canonsburg Education and Cultural Institute for an auditorium development project,  $438,000 to the Carroll Township Authority for the nearly $3-million Ginger Hill sewer extension, and $400,000 for a Lemoyne Community Center expansion project.  The Board of Commissioners are expected to act on the recommendation at their February 6 public meeting.
