December 21, 2023

HARRISBURG – State Rep. Seth Grove (R-York) announced the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) released $2.8 million for projects in the 196th district.  

“I am pleased to announce $2.8 million in major infrastructure projects were approved for the 196th district,” Rep. Grove said.  “A major water line replacement on Carlisle Road was awarded $891,000 to Dover Township and the Dover Township Sewer Authority was awarded $918,050 for a sewer expansion project.  These are crucial projects for our area.”  

In addition to water projects in the Dover area, $1 million was awarded to the Abbottstown Paradise Joint Sewer Authority for system improvements.  

Seven Valleys Borough was awarded $48,252 for storm water repairs.  “When inclement weather strikes our area, we expect storm drains to work,” Grove said.  “The repairs on Church Street will provide a better quality of life for residents and businesses.  No one wants to park in or drive through standing water.”
