Rep. Glenn Thompson Announces $2.5M Federal Grants for Two Susquehanna Valley Projects

U.S. Rep. Glenn Thompson announced a combined $2.5 million in federal funding for two infrastructure projects serving communities in the Susquehanna Valley on March 1, 2026. The announcement identified the awards as federal grants targeted to infrastructure work across the region that includes Union County.

Thompson named the total amount as $2.5 million and specified that the funding would be split across two separate projects serving Susquehanna Valley communities. The congressman’s March 1 announcement detailed the allocations for the region and positioned the grants as part of federal support for local infrastructure needs.

For Union County residents, the allocation confirms federal dollars directed at the broader Susquehanna Valley area. The valley encompasses the municipalities and townships that rely on shared transportation, water, and utility networks; the two projects funded by the $2.5 million are intended to serve multiple communities within that geography.

Thompson’s disclosure on March 1, 2026 follows the congressman’s ongoing role in bringing federal infrastructure resources to central Pennsylvania. The combined $2.5 million adds to previously announced allocations for the region and will be used on projects labeled as infrastructure in the March 1 announcement.

Local officials in Union County and neighboring municipalities now have a confirmed federal allocation to factor into planning and capital budgets for Susquehanna Valley projects. The March 1 announcement establishes the $2.5 million total and the two-project structure; implementation steps and timelines will proceed through the established federal and local channels identified by Thompson’s office.

The March 1 funding announcement by Rep. Glenn Thompson provides a concrete infusion of federal resources for infrastructure work in the Susquehanna Valley, giving Union County and nearby communities a specified $2.5 million commitment across two projects as they move from allocation toward execution.
