Westmoreland Review

Rep. Eric Nelson of Westmoreland County has announced the allocation of over $325,000 in Local Share Account (LSA) grants. These funds, sourced from the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA), are designated for various projects within the 57th Legislative District.

“These grants will help fund needed improvements in our community,” stated Nelson. “It’s great to see gaming funds come back to our area. It eases the financial burden on local governments and non-profits to upgrade equipment and enhance services. Thank you to Senator Ward for her support of these important projects.”
