Senator Lynda Schlegel Culver has announced that Columbia County will receive $620,000 in state grants. These funds are allocated for projects aimed at benefiting the residents of the county. The grants come from the Commonwealth Financing Authority’s (CFA) Local Share Account (LSA) Program. This program supports projects related to public interest, community improvement, and economic development, using revenue generated by casinos.

"The state works as a partner with local communities by providing financial resources to move projects forward," stated Senator Culver. She expressed her satisfaction with the allocation of these funds to various projects in Columbia County, emphasizing their potential benefits for local residents.

The CFA operates as an independent agency within Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development. It is responsible for administering numerous programs focused on economic development and community improvement throughout the state.
