The State is currently accepting public comments on RACP (Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program), applications and the Millcreek Township Board of Supervisors is calling on Millcreek residents and business owners and the greater Erie Area Community to express their support for the Township’s $6.2M RACP Grant to redevelop 8th Street.
The grant will be used to redevelop 8th Street from Peninsula Drive to Pittsburgh Avenue, by relocating powerlines, installing sidewalks, street trees, decorative light poles, and other amenities to create a “main street” aesthetic in the Presque Isle Gateway District.
“8th Street is our small business hub in Millcreek and the Greater Erie Area located in the Presque Isle Gateway District, and it warrants having a high quality public space for our residents and visitors to enjoy. This project will tie the corridor together and link it to both Peninsula Drive and the City of Erie’s own 8th Street improvement project.” John Morgan, Chair, Millcreek Township Board of Supervisors.
“Our Team has put together a great application, our Board and our legislators have been tirelessly advocating, and now we ask the public to please help show Harrisburg how important this project is to our Township and our region by taking part in this public comment process.”
The State is accepting written public comments via email or letter until May 12th.
For details on how to submit comments and to download a template support letter, the public is encouraged to visit the www.millcreektownship.com homepage.
