Brown expressed her satisfaction with the allocation of funds, stating, "I am pleased that funding has been awarded to help remedy safety issues in this neighborhood. I want to thank the Commonwealth Financing Authority for helping the Neshannock Township community create the infrastructure for better living conditions and advance economic development in the area. I was happy to advocate for this funding."

The project was a collaborative effort, with Brown working closely alongside Neshannock Township supervisors to secure the funding. Brown highlighted the importance of road improvements for truck safety, stating, "In order for Steelite International, a warehouse and distribution center in New Castle, to remain as a viable part of our district, road improvements were imperative for truck safety."

The Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) plays a crucial role in Pennsylvania's economic growth, with a focus on funding programs and investments to support development across the state.

This grant represents a significant investment in the infrastructure and safety of Neshannock Township, with the aim of enhancing the quality of life for residents and supporting economic growth in the area.
