Lycoming County entities have been awarded $1.65 million across four state financing authority grants.

Williamsport will receive a $906,475 multimodal transportation fund grant that will allow it to improve the appearance and safety of Campbell and Fourth streets.

Jersey Shore will receive a similar fund grant for $175,000 to support its current project to connect Greenway Trail to the Susquehanna river.

Eldred Township can expect $247,800 to improve pedestrian safety on Warrensville Road through the same multimodal transportation fund grant.

Finally, the Lycoming Biology Field Station Inc. will see a flood mitigation fund grant for $325,089 that will help restore the Loyalsock Creek in Upper Fairfield Township.

State Rep. Joe Hamm, R-Lycoming, whose district encompasses Jersey Shore, Upper Field Township and Eldred Township, said he was honored to support the three projects.

“Quality of life is important to the residents of the 84th District and these three projects will go a long way to enhance that here in Lycoming County,” Hamm said.

“Several good projects were awarded funding today and I was happy to support them during the initial application phase,” State Sen. Yaw, R-Bradford, said. “With the help of my colleagues in the House, we are able to bring these projects to reality.”

“Ensuring the safety of all residents is my top concern, and these grants will successfully provide an improved quality of life and safety to all in Lycoming County,” State Rep. Jeff Wheeland, R-Lycoming, said.

Cody Hoover, Jersey Shore borough manager, said the financial support of the borough’s active transportation plan will allow the borough to complete opening phases of the project this spring. That will enable the borough to link Allegheny Street to the DCNR parking lot behind Weis Markets.

“Their support is helping to make Jersey Shore the hub of the regional bicycle routes and the gateway to Pennsylvania’s Scenic Pine Creek Valley,” Hoover said.
