Two projects in Jackson Township will benefit from more than $1.8 million in grant funding from the state’s Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program.

The funding, announced Friday, includes a $1 million grant to The Buncher Company for its Jackson Pointe Project and $811,250 for the Community Development Corporation of Butler County to complete Phase 2 of the construction of a new fire station for Harmony and neighboring communities.

The grants are intended to promote regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational and historical improvement projects, according to the state government website.

The grant awarded to The Buncher Company is for Phase 1A of a project to include the installation of infrastructure that will allow the company to expand its presence in Jackson Township, a news release said. The company did not reply to requests for comment.

According to Greg Such, who serves as Harmony Borough Council president, the grant for the fire district can help establish a new fire station without risking too much debt.
