EPA Announces $16 Million in Brownfield Grants Through Investing in America Agenda to Rehabilitate and Revitalize Communities in Pennsylvania

PHILADELPHIA – Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced more than $16 million in grant awards from President Biden’s Investing in America agenda to expedite the assessment and cleanup of brownfield sites in Pennsylvania while advancing environmental justice. These investments through EPA’s Brownfields Multipurpose, Assessment, and Cleanup (MAC) Grant Programs will help transform once-polluted, vacant, and abandoned properties into community assets, while helping to create good jobs and spur economic revitalization in overburdened communities.

Sayre, PA — The Community Foundation for the Twin Tiers (CFTT) is thrilled to announce a significant milestone in its growth, as the foundation’s assets have now reached an impressive $14 million. This achievement was made possible by a generous bequest from the estate of George Gardiner Probst, facilitated by the Keystone Trails Association (KTA).

In honor of George Gardiner Probst, a substantial portion of this bequest has been invested in the Keystone Trails Endowment fund, ensuring the continued support and maintenance of our region’s cherished trails. George, a resident of Wellsville, NY, just north of the Pennsylvania line, was a dedicated veteran of both the United States Navy and the United States Air Force. His life was marked by a deep love for the outdoors and an unwavering commitment to community service. As a Mason, a member of the Susquehannock Trail Club, and the Finger Lakes Trail Conference, George was a passionate advocate for hiking, backpacking, fishing, hunting, camping, and particularly enjoyed canoeing the Pine Creek in the Grand Canyon of Pennsylvania.

The 2023-24 deer seasons ended months ago as did the busiest time for chronic wasting disease (CWD) surveillance. CWD, a fatal neurological disease, is a threat to both white-tailed deer and elk and has been detected within the wild deer population in several areas of Pennsylvania. While the most intense efforts revolve around Pennsylvania’s deer hunting seasons, monitoring for CWD is a year-round endeavor. The public can view the results of these efforts on the CWD Surveillance Dashboard available online at https://pgcdatacollection.pa.gov/CWDResultsLookup.

The CWD Surveillance Dashboard continues to be updated weekly and allows the public to view past and current information related to CWD, and for hunters who submitted their deer for testing to access the results online.

Since July 1, 2023, the Game Commission has collected nearly 11,000 CWD samples from deer. Hunter harvested samples made up the bulk of those with over 7,000.

CWD was detected in a total of 291 of those hunter-harvested deer. To date, over 440 deer have tested positive for CWD in the 2023-2024 sampling year, up from 426 CWD-positive samples in 2022-23.
