Immaculata University Gets $500K For Stadium Upgrades

MALVERN, PA – State Senator Andy Dinniman announced that $3 million in total state grant funding has been approved for Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program (RACP) projects in Chester County, including Immcaculata University in Malvern.

Tredyffrin Township and Phoenixville Borough were also awarded funding for their respective projects.

Immaculata University got $500,000 for the Draper Walsh Stadium Track Project.

The project calls for updating the university’s existing 1,000-seat stadium to include a track and other improvements.

Dinniman said all three projects represent great examples of public-private initiatives that aim to spur economic development, alleviate environmental issues, and increase access to recreational opportunities for children, families, and senior citizens.

"When we work together with our boroughs, universities, and developers to support economic development that is responsible, sustainable, and proactive it’s a win-win for our communities and our residents," Dinniman said. "I look forward to the completion of these projects and the beginning of many more that create jobs, add value to our communities, and improve the overall quality of life in Chester County.”

RACP is a Commonwealth grant program administered by the Office of the Budget for the acquisition and construction of regional economic, cultural, civic, recreational, and historical improvement projects.
