HARRISBURG – Rep. George H. Margetas (R-York) announced today that Paradise Township in the 196th District was awarded a major grant from the Pennsylvania Local Share Account (LSA) program.
LSA grants support projects in the public interest and projects that improve the quality of life of citizens in the community. Eligible projects must be owned and maintained by an eligible applicant or a nonprofit organization. Eligible applicants include counties, municipalities, municipal authorities, land banks, councils of government, redevelopment authorities and economic development agencies.
Paradise Township will receive $750,000 to construct a new building to house the recently merged Paradise Township Fire Department (York County Station 110, and Northeast Adams Fire and EMS).
The project will include the construction of a new 60-by-80-foot building, driveway, and parking lot on a piece of township-owned land adjacent to the current municipal complex. The project will provide the necessary parking for the emergency vehicles and storage of equipment for the two merged departments.
“This grant funding will greatly help the merged Paradise Township Fire Department,” said Margetas. “The money will help ensure the construction of the necessary new building to put the fire and EMS operations under one roof and improve safety response times across Paradise Township.”
The PA Race Horse Development and Gaming Act (Act 2004-71) provides for the distribution of gaming revenues through the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) to support projects in the public interest within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for these grants through the LSA program.
