(AMBRIDGE, PA.) Major infrastructure and housing projects in Hopewell and Aliquippa are getting new infusions of funding, thanks to additional grants totaling $434,350 from the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, state Rep. Rob Matzie announced today.

Matzie, D-Beaver, said the funding includes an additional $250,000 to G&B Development Hopewell LLC for major public improvements to the Hopewell Business Park (bringing total funding for the project to $2 million this year) and an additional $184,350 to the Beaver County Industrial Development Authority for The Bricks affordable housing project (bringing total project funding to $934,350 this year).

“Securing additional funds for The Bricks Project maintains my commitment to the city of Aliquippa and Mayor Dwan Walker to partner on projects important to their community,” Matzie said. “The Hopewell Business Park has been a workplace destination since its construction decades ago, and this project will allow the business park to grow to meet the demands of the airport corridor.”

The Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program is administered by the Office of the Budget for acquisition and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational and historical improvement projects.

(Harrisburg, Pa.) Pennsylvania State Senator Elder Vogel announced late Friday that six Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program grants, with a combined total of more than $6.79 million, have been awarded to projects in Beaver, Butler and Lawrence counties.

The three Bever County projects are a

• A $2,480,400 grant awarded to the Beaver Area School District for the replacement of its high school-middle school natatorium with a new six-lane pool.
• A $1.5 million grant awarded to Midland LP for the continued redevelopment of an existing 50,000-square-foot warehouse left over from prior industry in Midland Borough to bring the structure up to code and make it a marketable property.
• A $495,000 grant awarded to Heritage Valley Health System, Inc. for the facility’s Nuclear Radiology Hot Lab project, which will prepare space within the Nuclear Department in radiology by doing such things as installing new lead-lined walls, creating new storage and staff workspace, and enlarging the scanning room.

Grants were awarded to the following two Butler County projects:

• A $1 million grant to The Buncher Company for Phase 1A of its Jacksons Pointe project, which will include the installation of necessary infrastructure that will ultimately allow the company to expand its presence in Jackson Township.
• A $811,250 grant for the Community Development Corporation of Butler County to do Phase 2 of its Harmony Fire District Construction project, which will create and outfit a new fire station in Zelienople Borough.

And in Lawrence County, a $500,000 grant has been awarded to construct flex space in an industrial building located in New Beaver Borough’s Stonecrest Business Park.
