Ground broken at AC Valley Industrial Parkfor sewer
ALLEGHENY TWP — Butler County commissioners and officials from surrounding townships and counties helped break ground Monday morning at the Allegheny Clarion Valley Industrial Park for sewer system repairs.
“This is a wonderful outcome, and I’m looking forward to more projects like this in the future,” said state Sen. Scott Hutchinson, R-21st.
The project, which is expected to be completed by March of 2024, is estimated to cost a total of $5.5 million.
Butler County commissioners approved the use of $500,000 in funds from the American Rescue Plan Act in mid-October. But that is just one revenue stream for the project, said Mark Gordon, the county’s chief of economic development and planning.
“We had to apply for a couple grants,” Gordon said. “We worked with state Sen. Joe Pittman (R-41st) on a $1 million grant. Then we worked with the county commissioners to get the half a million in ARPA funding to get us started.”
