Kelly backs funding for Venango County's Two Mile Run Wastewater Facility Project

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- Today, U.S. Rep. Mike Kelly (R-PA) applauded $639,280 in federal funding announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for Venango County's Two Mile Run Wastewater Treatment Facility Project. Kelly previously authored a letter of support for the project.

"This funding will be used for critical physical infrastructure projects supporting Venango County residents and patrons of Two Mile Run Park. I believe it's important for everyone to remember: this isn't Washington's money. These are your tax dollars at work in your community," said Rep. Kelly.

The funding will be used to replace existing wastewater treatment facilities.

The Two Mile Run County Park offers outdoor recreation and is also a venue for family gatherings with its 12 pavilion areas, swimming beach, rental houses, and campgrounds. The current wastewater treatment facility is nearing the end of its life and beginning to fail, threatening county park activities.
