Gas tax increasing after first of year; bridges/roads to benefit
The same decade-old legislation that provided the remaining $1 million to repair and refill Glade Run Lake in 2014 will bump up the state’s gas tax in 2023.
Per Act 89 of 2013, which was signed into law during the administration of former Gov. Tom Corbett, the Pennsylvania gas tax will increase by 3.5 cents — to 61 cents — per gallon of gas, at the start of the new year.
Act 89 in 2014 provided funding to Glade Run Lake in Middlesex Township, Colyer Lake in Centre County, and Meadow Grounds Lake in Fulton County to repair safety issues that had caused several lakes statewide to be drained.
