Deasy applauds $275,000 grant for Green Tree stream restoration project

(Sep 20, 2022)

PITTSBURGH, Sept. 20 – State Rep. Dan Deasy announced today that the borough of Green Tree will receive $275,000 in state funding for a stream restoration project within the Lower Chartiers Creek and Kilbuck Run-Ohio River watersheds. The Commonwealth Financing Authority, an independent agency of the state Department of Community and Economic Development, administered the funding from its Watershed Restoration and Protection Program. “Green Tree has been working on a Pollution Reduction Plan to improve the stormwater infrastructure in those watershed areas,” Deasy said. “I’m proud to support environmental efforts that restore and preserve our streams, as well as work to keep our water clean and healthy.” Deasy said the project will include 700 linear feet of stream restoration to stabilize eroded stream banks and the reconnection of the stream floodplains. The improvements would result in a reduction of 31,400 pounds of sediment per year and renewed preservation of the local downstream tributaries and stream ecology. Watershed Restoration and Protection Program funds can be used for construction, improvement, expansion, repair, maintenance or rehabilitation of new or existing watershed protection Best Management Practices .

Deasy announces $3.5 million investment for Fairywood industrial redevelopment project

(Jul 19, 2022)

PITTSBURGH, July 19 – State Rep. Dan Deasy, D-Allegheny, today announced the Commonwealth Financing Authority approved a combined $3.5 million Business in Our Sites grant and loan for a project to develop an industrial park in Pittsburgh’s Fairywood neighborhood. “This significant investment will help to transform an area of Fairywood that has been vacant for a long time and give it a new purpose,” Deasy said. “I’m pleased to help secure funding for a project that will provide an economic boost to the West End by attracting new businesses and creating a variety of jobs.” Deasy said the Commonwealth Financing Authority will supply a $1.4 million grant and a $2.1 million loan to The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh to assist in the expansion of Fairywood Industrial Park. The URA and Regional Industrial Development Corporation of Southwestern PA first announced the redevelopment of the 25-acre site in Fairywood back in April 2022. The Business in Our Sites grant and loan program provides financial assistance to municipalities and others to plan and prepare sites for future use by businesses, private developers and others.

Deasy: Privatizing PA’s liquor system too complex to be decided by constitutional amendment on ballot

(Jun 09, 2022)

HARRISBURG, June 9 – In Wednesday’s House Liquor Control Committee meeting, Democratic Chair Dan Deasy voted no on a constitutional amendment that asks voters to decide on whether to privatize Pennsylvania’s Fine Wine and Good Spirits stores. “This constitutional amendment is not a simple question, and it seems disingenuous to ask voters to make an informed decision based on a two-sentence ballot question,” said Deasy, D-Allegheny. “Privatizing the state’s liquor system is a complex issue and in the past we have spent years trying to develop a plan to do so without success. This bill would rush that decision onto the ballot, without any serious proposal as to how this would actually work. This doesn’t just put the cart before the horse but would create a dangerous scenario that will leave legislators making decisions in the dark.” In his remarks to the committee, Deasy noted that should the constitutional amendment pass , the legislature would have 18 months to work out licensing, taxes, divesture of the LCB stores and product availability. He noted that not only would any plan have to be created and passed by both chambers and the governor, but it also would have to be in place and have new licensing underway in order to ensure Pennsylvanians are able to purchase liquor after those 18 months are up. “We talk a lot about numbers and financial figures when discussing privatization, but let’s not Read more
