Pittsburgh, PA − Marzo 16, 2023 − Today, Senator Jay Costa and Representative La’Tasha Mayes are proud to announce $258,341 in grant funding within their legislative districts in Multimodal Transportation Fund Grants and Statewide Local Share Account Grants through the Commonwealth Financing Authority and Department of Economic and Community Development.
"Todos merecemos circular con seguridad por nuestras calles y vivir en comunidades fuertes y sólidas", dijo el senador Costa. "Las subvenciones que anunciamos hoy garantizarán que nuestros espacios públicos, organizaciones sin ánimo de lucro, calles, cruces y barrios dispongan de los recursos que necesitan para reparar lo que no funciona y ampliar lo que funciona. Estoy muy orgulloso de todos los premiados y espero ver los frutos de su trabajo en el futuro."
“I am thrilled to be announcing this funding for our community. The Latin American Cultural Center is very important to our area because it acts as a place where Latinx people can come together and express cultural pride and identity,” said Representative La’Tasha Mayes. “When we talk about community investments, these types of projects are just as important as any other infrastructure – helping communities thrive and grow, develop a sense of place and attract other development. I want to congratulate everyone who worked to make this happen.”
