East Whiteland Gets $352K For Lancaster Ave Improvements

EAST WHITELAND, PA — East Whiteland is getting some streetscape improvements thanks to funds from the Commonwealth Finance Authority.

State Sen. Andy Dinniman announced the funding recently.

GMH East Whiteland Holdings, LLC is getting $352,647 for Lancaster Avenue streetscape improvements in East Whiteland.

The project will consist of the construction of a new 415-foot travel lane along Lancaster Avenue, relocation of utility poles, restriping of a turn lane, retiming of traffic signals, construction of new sidewalk and ADA ramps, construction of a new bike lane, and the installation of streetscape amenities.

The project site is located at the front of a proposed 215-unit apartment building to be constructed by GMH.

"Transportation is both how we move and how we keep our economy moving forward," Dinniman said. "These funds will support much-needed upgrades, like streetscapes improvements associated with new residential and commercial development, renovations and expansions to a regional airport, and a traffic signal at a well-traveled thoroughfare in southern Chester County."
