Over $3.7 million in grants from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection will make its way to the Southwest Pennsylvania region, and some of that money will be used in Indiana County.
In an announcement from the Wolf administration, the money comes from the Growing Greener Plus program. Growing Greener is the largest single investment of state funds in Pennsylvania’s history to address ongoing environmental issues. The program was signed into law in late 1999 and has been extended multiple times. The money can be used for watershed restoration and protection, abandoned mine reclamation and abandoned oil and gas well plugging projects.
As part of this distribution of funds, the Indiana County Conservation District will receive $164,466. That money will be put toward the Lower Two Lick Creek Watershed Assessment.
