Conservation Partnership Grants Approved for Area Projects

Several state grants were approved to fund conservation partnership projects in Monroeville, Brentwood and Glassport in addition to the Great Allegheny Passage in Elizabeth Township and Lincoln Borough, state Sen. Jim Brewster said today. 

“These grants will not only open up areas for recreation, but they will enhance a community’s quality of life,” Brewster said.  “Citizens from the area will be able to enjoy greater access to open space, have improved recreational areas, site improvements, facilities and public walkways.”

The grants include the following:

  • Allegheny Land Trust: $20,000 is earmarked toward the acquisition of 30 acres in Monroeville for open space and recreation;
  • Brentwood Borough: $697,600 to revitalize the Brentwood Community Park including the reconstruction of the swimming pool, liner, piping, fencing, ADA access, landscaping and other site improvements;
  • Glassport Borough: $40,000 to develop the 9th Street Park including walkways, pavilions, fencing, ADA access and other site improvements;
  • Great Allegheny Passage in Elizabeth Township and Lincoln Borough: $170,500 to Regional Trail Corporation to rehabilitate 9.8 miles of trail from Buena Vista to Durabond bypass.  The project includes installation of gates, ADA access and other improvements.   

Brewster said the grants were approved through the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources’ Community Conservation Partnership Program.  Partnership grants are funded through a mix of state and federal sources.
