Centre County commissioners approve two grants for community center restoration
CENTRE COUNTY, Pa. (WTAJ) — A Centre County community center is getting much-needed funding for upgrades following a Board of Commissioners meeting Tuesday.
County commissioners approved two Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) agreements for the Gregg Township Community Center Restoration Project. The building, located at the Old Gregg School, needs new flooring, windows, basketball court upgrades, and several other improvements.
'We sent that I think a couple hundred thousand dollars that way, which is pretty much a year's worth of Community Development Block Grant funding for Center County. It's great to hear that. The second phase is about to kick off and hopefully keep that building in public use for many years to come,' Centre County Commissioner Mark Higgins said.
The project will receive nearly $300,000 in total. The Old Gregg School Community and Recreation Center is a non-profit venue that offers community services and activities for everyone.
The school has served as a community and recreation center since 2007.
