The borough of Kane along with Eldred and Ceres townships are set to receive more than $650,000 in state grants for three McKean County road paving and reconstruction projects.

Kane will receive $225,000 to repave several streets in the borough. Eldred Township is set to receive $228,500 for reconstruction of Newell Creek Road (Township Route 338) and Ceres Township is due for $200,000 toward reconstruction of Barden Brook Road.

Rep. Martin Causer, R-Turtlepoint, and Sen. Cris Dush, R-Brookville, announced the funding Monday.

“Maintaining our infrastructure is important but costly,” Causer said. “I was happy to work with officials in these communities to support funding for much-needed road improvements that will benefit residents and all who pass through these areas.”

“We all share the benefits of an adequately funded and properly maintained local transportation infrastructure,” said Dush. “Strategically bundling infrastructure upgrades, drainage improvements, utility work and other quality of life enhancements whenever possible are proven methods to reducing overall construction costs, increasing public safety and minimizing disruptions for McKean County residents and job creators.”

The funding comes from the Multimodal Transportation Fund under the Commonwealth Financing Authority, which manages the state’s economic stimulus programs. The fund provides grants to encourage economic development and ensure a safe and reliable system of transportation is available in the commonwealth.
