HARRISBURG – Sen. Camera Bartolotta (R-46) today announced a $1 million state grant for improvements to Morganza and McMurray roads in Washington County to prepare for the Cool Valley Development.
Cool Valley Development is a proposed 911-acre mixed-use development in Cecil Township. The plan includes construction of new residences, offices, warehouses and other amenities along Interstate 79.
“It has been almost 15 years since the Cool Valley project was initially proposed, but lack of sufficient funding for traffic improvements continually hindered progress. This grant will help to keep things moving while making accommodations to account for the inevitable increase in traffic,” Bartolotta said.
The grant was awarded through the state Multimodal Transportation Fund, which provides financial assistance to municipalities, councils of governments, businesses, economic development organizations, public transportation agencies, and ports and rail freight entities.
