Local Boroughs to Receive Funding for Traffic Improvement Projects

February 25, 2025

HARRISBURG – According to Rep. Brenda Pugh (R-Luzerne) and Sen. Lisa Baker (R-Luzerne/Pike/Susquehanna/Wayne/Wyoming), Courtdale and Exeter boroughs will receive a combined $500,000 through the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Multimodal Transportation Fund.

Courtdale Borough will receive $400,000 to repave 16 roads in Courtdale Borough, and Wyoming Avenue Development Group, LLC will receive $100,000 for traffic flow and pedestrian safety upgrades for a blighted, vacant lot in Exeter Borough.

“Projects like those for Courtdale and Exeter boroughs address not only safety upgrades but also contribute to beautifying our district,” said Pugh. “I fully support these projects and am anxious to see the improvements come to life.”

“This money is a big help for allowing these communities to address critical needs. People who live along these roads and those who drive them every day will certainly appreciate the upgrades,’ said Baker. “State funding pushes up the timetable for completing the projects and alleviates some of the pressure on municipal budgets. I commend local officials and residents for their advocacy.”

The Multimodal Transportation Fund provides grants to encourage economic development and ensure that a safe and reliable system of transportation is available to the residents of the Commonwealth. Funds may be used for the development, rehabilitation and enhancement of transportation assets to existing communities, streetscape, lighting, sidewalk enhancement, pedestrian safety, connectivity of transportation assets and transit-oriented development.
