Philadelphia, PA, December 18, 2025 – State Senator Tina Tartaglione (D–2, Philadelphia) today announced that the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) has approved more than $3 million in state grant funding for critical community, health care, safety, and accessibility projects throughout her district.
