Just over $601,000 is coming to projects in Buffalo Township, Jefferson Township and Chicora.

State Rep. Marci Mustello, R-11th, announced on Thursday that Local Share Account grants will support projects in the three municipalities, which are within her legislative district.

Buffalo Township will receive $372,828 for sediment-reduction equipment in stormwater basins, ditches and storm drains.

The equipment will reduce sediment in local watersheds.

“We need help to pay for the equipment necessary to get the job done effectively,” said Rich Hill, Buffalo Township manager. “This will go a long way to help us get to our goal.”

Jefferson Township will receive $118,400 to install bathroom facilities at Laura J. Doerr Memorial Park.
