CONSHOHOCKEN, PA — Senator Vincent Hughes joined local officials in announcing a $1.4 million state grant to modernize the borough’s wastewater system. The investment, funded by the H2O PA Grant, underscores the state’s commitment to ensuring clean water and reliable services for Montgomery County residents.
Senator Hughes emphasized the direct benefits of the investment to local residents and businesses. “When we invest in local water infrastructure, we’re ensuring the quality of water and the reliability of our systems without passing the cost on to residents,” Hughes said. “And we’re also making a positive impact on our environment.”
The announcement comes at a time when aging infrastructure across the United States is under scrutiny. Investments like these not only address immediate needs but also pave the way for sustainable growth and development.
Tina Sokolowski, Borough Council President and Sewer Authority Chair, and Representative Greg Scott echoed Hughes’ sentiments during the press conference. They highlighted the collaborative efforts that led to securing the investment, praising the work of the Sewer Authority, Borough Council, and local representatives.
“When you elect people like the folks standing here today, you lift up leaders who advocate for residents of Conshohocken every day,” said Representative Scott. “We are a team that’s committed to making sure the borough has the smart, growth investments it needs.”
Sokolowski added, “I’d like to recognize the dedication of all the behind-the-scenes folks who work hard for our community, and I’d like to thank Senator Hughes and Representative Scott for helping us secure this funding. As Conshohocken becomes more and more of a hub for Montgomery County, we need to continue investing in our area to support its growth and development.”
The modernization project will not only improve the quality and reliability of wastewater services in Conshohocken but also contribute to its continued development as a key hub in Montgomery County. As the borough continues to grow, investments in foundational infrastructure like water and sewage systems will be crucial to maintaining the quality of life for residents and supporting the growth of local businesses.
The announcement represents a significant step forward in addressing Conshohocken’s infrastructure needs, setting a positive precedent for future investments in the borough’s growth and sustainability.
