The funding, totaling more than $2 million, was announced on Wednesday by State Senator Frank Farry, State Rep. Kristin Marcell, and State Rep. Joe Hogan.

• Northampton Township is receiving more than $1.1 million to complete the third phase of the Village of Richboro Sidewalk initiative, enhancing walkability and safety for residents.
• Warwick Township is receiving $825,394 to improve pedestrian infrastructure along Almshouse Road, promoting safer routes for families and community members.

The Multimodal Transportation Fund supports projects that improve transportation infrastructure and foster economic growth across the commonwealth.

Projects receiving funding through the Small Water and Sewer Program include:

"I am committed to supporting the safety of our communities and am pleased we were able to secure the funding for these important projects that will create safer neighborhoods and improve the quality of life for our residents," said Farry.

“These projects address specific needs in our communities by improving infrastructure and upgrading essential systems,” said Marcell. “I was glad to work with Sen. Farry to support these initiatives and help secure funding that will enhance safety and add to our quality of life across Bucks County.”

“By working together, Sen. Farry and I were able to secure these funds,” said Hogan. “These projects are going to save the local taxpayer and ratepayer money while improving our critical sewer and stormwater infrastructure for safer and healthier communities.”
