HARRISBURG – Rep. Mike Cabell (R-Luzerne) today announced the awarding of $250,000 in state funding for a street improvement project in Nuangola, Luzerne County.

Cabell played a key role in securing the grant, which will go towards the repaving of Van Road in Nuangola Borough and Rice Township, areas in critical need of repairs.

"The condition of Van Road has deteriorated badly in recent years, but neither municipality has the necessary funds to fix it," said Cabell. “The road is heavily traveled, so this project is going to make a huge difference for the hundreds of residents who drive it regularly.”

The grant was approved by the Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) through the Multimodal Transportation Fund, which provides funding to encourage economic development and ensure a safe and reliable transportation system is available to Pennsylvania residents.

The CFA, established as an independent agency of the Commonwealth, holds fiduciary responsibility over the funding of programs and investments in Pennsylvania’s economic growth.

Representative Mike Cabell from the 117th Legislative District of the Pennsylvania House of Representatives was instrumental in securing this funding.
