July 17, 2026

HARRISBURG – Rep. Brenda Pugh (R-Luzerne) is pleased to announce $3.25 million has been allocated to three projects in the 120th Legislative District through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP), which aims to bolster economic growth and enhance community resources.

“These investments mark an exciting step forward for our communities by strengthening our economy, expanding educational opportunities and modernizing the infrastructure that supports local businesses,” said Pugh. “From new construction that lays the foundation for future growth, to innovative learning spaces that prepare the next generation, to expanded facilities that support local industry, these projects will enhance our communities, attract additional investment and support the long-term economic vitality that benefits our municipalities and school districts. Together, they reflect a shared commitment to progress, resilience and opportunity.”

The funding will support three key initiatives:

• Dallas Suites LLC: $2 million will be invested to purchase and develop a piece of land. In addition to pouring foundations, footers and securing underground utilities, construction will include sidewalks, curbs and road surfaces.

• Misericordia University: $500,000 to renovate the Misericordia University LEAP Center Project to include shared offices, a rehabilitation and clinic training lab, an exercise physiology lab, a bio-mechanics lab, fitness center, bathrooms, changing rooms and storage space.

• Hershkop Properties, LLC: $750,000 to modernize and expand the property of 300 Sly Street to include new flooring and a rear extension to expand warehouse capacity with six to eight new loading docks to enhance shipping and receiving. 

RACP is a Commonwealth grant initiative overseen by the Office of the Budget, designed to support projects that contribute to regional economic, cultural, civic and recreational development.
