-- Lehigh County: Catasauqua Borough -- $563,933 to construct new public streets that will provide vehicular access to and circulation through a mixed-use development on the former Crane Iron Works brownfield site. Improvements also include pedestrian- and bicycle-friendly features along the new street network aimed at creating a walkable mixed-use neighborhood.

-- Westmoreland County: Latrobe-GLSD Parks & Recreation -- $299,200 to construct an access road from Center Drive to the Loyalhanna Creek with a boat launch for canoes and kayaks. The road would also serve the potential new athletic complex that includes a dek hockey rink, walking trails, basketball court, and dog park. The access also allows people to fish, explore, and conduct environmental/stream interpretation.
