DCED awards grant to Crawford County project

The Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) recently awarded a $42,544 grant to the Titusville Redevelopment Authority, in cooperation with National Fuel, in Crawford County.

Funding is through the Commonwealth Financing Authority’s Pipeline Investment Program (PIPE).

“The PIPE project approved today will help connect a business park to natural gas, which will create jobs, save money, and grow business within the area,” DCED Secretary Dennis Davin said. “This program is so critical because it helps Pennsylvanians access the abundant natural gas resources available throughout the commonwealth while doing their part to decrease their carbon footprint.”

The Titusville Redevelopment Authority will install 1,547-linear-feet of natural gas pipeline that will connect 14 buildings in Titusville Opportunity Park to the main gas line located just outside the park. The project will bring the business park into compliance with Public Utility Commission requirements that every building be metered separately.
