West Chester, Pa (December 18, 2025) – Four projects to improve parks, restore a local stream, repair an embankment, and upgrade stormwater sewers were awarded $225,000 in total state funding today, state Senator Carolyn Comitta said.
“Investments in parks, outdoor recreation, and stormwater management help continue to ensure that communities in our region remain sought-after places to live, work, and raise a family,” said Comitta, who serves as minority chair of the Senate Environmental Resources and Energy Committee.
The funds, approved today by the Commonwealth Finance Authority, support the following projects in Pennsylvania’s 19th Senatorial District:
- $65,000 for West Chester Borough for Phase II of the Brick Storm Sewer Rehabilitation.
- $25,000 for West Bradford Township for Embreeville Park.
- $60,000 for West Whiteland for repairs to the Burgoyne Bridge Embankment.
- $75,000 for New London Township for the Kirk Farm Stream Restoration.
In addition to Comitta, the projects that were awarded funding are represented by State Representatives Christina Sappey, Chris Pielli, and Kristine Howard.
The projects were funded by Act 13 of 2012 (the Marcellus Legacy Fund), which supports stream restoration and maintenance, as well as the planning and development of recreational trails, open space, parks, and beautification projects.
