WASHINGTON, DC — U.S. Senator Bob Casey (D-PA) today announced that the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has approved a $50,000 grant and a $135,000 loan to Beccaria Township in Clearfield County to construct a new municipal building.
“I applaud the USDA for helping Pennsylvania’s strong rural communities maintain their high quality of life,” said Senator Casey. “These funds will help Beccaria Township replace an outdated facility to meet the needs of its residents.”
The new municipal building will house office space, voting facilities and community activity space and will also provide a headquarters for the Township’s Municipal Emergency Operations Center.
The funds are available through the USDA Rural Development’s Community Facilities Program, which supports projects to improve quality of life by ensuring rural communities can create jobs, attract businesses and provide necessary services to their residents.
