Posted on February 24, 2025HARRISBURG – Sen. Michele Brooks (R-50) announced today the approval of a Multimodal Transportation Fund grant for an infrastructure project in Crawford County. The grant, awarded by the Commonwealth Financing Authority, will enhance transportation safety, connectivity and economic growth in the region.
“Funding for this project will help improve our local infrastructure and stimulate growth,” said Brooks. “It will also increase connectivity and provide better access to Titusville Opportunity Park, supporting local businesses and the community.”
The Titusville Redevelopment Authority was awarded $100,000 for the Titusville Opportunity Park Roadway Access and Loading Dock Project. The project will complete roadway access at Titusville Opportunity Park along Spring Street in Titusville City.
The grant was awarded by the Commonwealth Financing Authority through its Multimodal Transportation Fund, which supports projects that ensure a safe and reliable system of transportation for Pennsylvania residents.

• Blooming Valley Borough received $30,000 to purchase snow removal equipment. Currently, the borough contracts these services, so this grant will eliminate that cost and increase vehicular safety during winter weather events by ensuring the roads are plowed more regularly.
• The Economic Progress Alliance received $150,000 to help complete water infrastructure improvements, including replacement of a 3,600 foot water line, at the Keystone Regional Industrial Park in Greenwood Township.
• Meadville City received $50,000 to assist in the continued renovation of Huidekoper Park. The project will create a 0.65 mile walking trail to include a small stream crossing bridge, interpretive nature signs, exercise areas, a dog park, a nine-hole disc golf course, a multipurpose field and a new basketball court with an improved drainage system and lighting. A horseshoe court, cornhole courts, a barbeque pit and parking area will also be added.
