Twardzik, Argall Announce $100,000 Grant for Pottsville Park Improvements

HARRISBURG - Rep. Tim Twardzik (R-123) and Sen. Dave Argall (R-29) announced the City of Pottsville was awarded a $100,000 Keystone Communities grant to support the Pottsville Greenways project. The funding will help build a connector trail from the JFK Park facility to the Pottsville Area School District, linking into the existing 9/11 Trail and improving recreational opportunities and access for residents.

"This grant will help bring the Pottsville Greenways project to life, creating safe, accessible trails that connect our parks, schools and neighborhoods," Twardzik said. "It's an investment in our community's health, recreation and quality of life for residents of all ages."

"Investments like this help continue the positive momentum we're seeing in Pottsville," Argall said. "By improving connections between parks, schools, businesses and neighborhoods, the Pottsville Greenways project will enhance recreation opportunities and strengthen the city for years to come."

The grant is part of a statewide program through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development that supports local revitalization projects and public improvements. The project will be managed by the city, with phase I supported by the grant and private contributions of approximately $25,000.
