Reading, PA — January 28, 2025 — Today, the Commonwealth Financing Authority approved $200,000 in Greenways, Trail and Recreation Program (GTRP) grant funding for Mohnton Borough.
The GTRP distributes funding from the Marcellus Legacy Fund, established by Act 13 of 2013. The program focuses on projects involving the development, rehabilitation and improvement of public parks, recreation areas, greenways, trails, and river conservation.
The funding will support the rehabilitation of sports courts located behind Mohnton Borough Hall near the Madison Baseball Field and the Mifflin Area YMCA. Sen. Judy Schwank said the grant will provide another safe recreational space for residents to enjoy.
“These courts are badly in need of rehabilitation,” Schwank said. “I give tremendous credit to Mohnton Borough for seeing an opportunity to deliver another great recreation area to the community and taking action to make it a reality. I have no doubt the children growing up in Mohnton and nearby residents will appreciate these new courts once they are installed and ready for use!”
