Gleim, Rothman Announce CFA Grants for Projects in Carlisle, Newville Boroughs

January 21, 2026

HARRISBURG – State Sen. Greg Rothman (R-34) and Rep. Barb Gleim (R-Cumberland) have secured $650,000 in Commonwealth Financing Authority (CFA) grants for Carlisle and Newville boroughs. The funding is administered through the authority’s Multimodal Transportation Fund and PA Small Water and Sewer programs.

“Maintaining and improving infrastructure are core government functions,” Rothman said. “These roadway and water projects will benefit many residents by improving safety, service and reliability for years to come.”

“This grant funding is essential for the health and growth of our communities,” said Gleim. “Ensuring residents have clean, reliable water and sewer services, as well as safe means of travel and transportation, are essential in every community, which is why I advocated for this funding.”

The CFA, an independent agency of the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development, approves competitive grants like these to fund programs and investments in Pennsylvania’s economic growth.

The grants recipients are:

• Carlisle Borough - $400,000 for completion of a planned shared-use path along Route 74 that will allow students to walk or ride to and from the Carlisle Area School District campus.
• Carlisle Borough - $150,000 for Carlisle Borough’s Basin 2 Sewer Rehabilitation Project, which will improve wastewater service for the Borough of Carlisle; and North Middleton, South Middleton, West Pennsboro, Middlesex and Silver Spring townships.
• Newville Borough Water and Sewer Authority - $100,000 for purchase of a back-up generator at its water and sewer treatment plant.
