Greene County was awarded $750,000 in federal BJA funds (Adult Drug Treatment Court Program) to support the Greene County Adult Drug Treatment Court Enhancement Project.
Greene County's proposal, the Greene County Adult Drug Treatment Court (ADTC) Enhancement Project, aims to empower the ADTC with the necessary resources to enhance capacity, expand services, and widen access to evidence-based recovery treatment services for participants in Greene County. The project encompasses various activities, including hiring a full-time Drug Court Case Manager, introducing a driving under the influence specific track, ensuring compliance with best practice standards, incorporating Risk and Needs Assessment Triage (RANT PLUS) for better risk assessment, providing support for critical treatment services, enhancing access to recovery support and necessities, and offering increased peer support through Certified Recovery Specialists. Expected outcomes include increased operational capacity, enhanced operations consistent with both the national All Rise Adult Drug Court Best Practice Standards and local best practice standards for hybrid Adult Drug Treatment Courts that offer a driving under the influence specific track, guaranteeing program integrity, participant compliance, and reduced stigma of recovery by implementing evidence-based practices aligned with best standards, ensuring accurate and accountable progress monitoring, and providing essential resources to expand access to evidence-based recovery treatment services and peer support, aiming to achieve long-term recovery, decrease recidivism, and prevent overdose deaths. Congratulations to the Western Reserve Transit Authority (WRTA) on their $1.3M U.S. DOT Federal Transit Administration Bus and Bus Facilities Funding Award. These funds will be used to prepare for a transition to an all-electric bus fleet by upgrading WRTA’s bus barn facility to support electric bus chargers, equipping it with solar panels, and upgrading the fire suppression system. This project will improve safety and prepare WRTA to meet its zero emission bus goals by 2030.

Click Here for Full Article The Southwestern Pennsylvania Commission (SPC) has awarded $946K in Transportation Alternatives Set Aside (TASA) Funds to Greene County to complete Phase 2 of the Waynesburg Commons Multimodal Improvement Project. Phase 2 of this project includes sidewalk and pedestrian safety improvements near Commons Park, a hub for residents and students of Waynesburg University. Delta assisted Greene County in prioritizing and phasing the project in order to effectively fund and execute the improvements.
This project is a wonderful example of multiple agencies working together with Greene County to improve safety and encourage active transportation. East Whiteland Township, Chester County, was awarded $1,850,000 in TA Set-Aside (TASA) funds for the Sidley Road to Chester Valley Trail Connection Project. This Project will construct approximately 0.75 miles of bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure along Sidley Road, Moores Road, and Mill Lane to connect offices, residences, and schools to the Chester Valley Trail.
The improvements will transform an auto-centric corridor into a walkable community and will address growing safety and accessibility concerns. This trail will utilize a mix of off-road, multi-use trails, existing sidewalks, and improved shoulders and will provide residents, employees and student and staff at Great Valley Schools with direct access to the Chester Valley Trail and to Greater Philadelphia’s Regional Trail network. This trail network will serve residents, businesses, workers, and commuters, providing opportunities for recreation, transportation and improved health and wellbeing. The vision for this project is to increase recreational opportunities and provide multimodal transportation alternatives to single occupancy vehicles, while supporting the economic strength of the region. Delta Development Group began working with East Whiteland Township in early 2022 to provide assistance with public funding for priority projects. This TASA award is a result of tremendous collaboration between East Whiteland Township, PennDOT and the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission and their ongoing commitment to the safety and prosperity of East Whiteland area residents, visitors and businesses. https://www.dvrpc.org/tap/pa/ Congratulations to the Borough of Carlisle on a $1.2 Million Transportation Infrastructure Investment from the Shapiro Administration. These funds will be used to execute the Carlisle Connectivity Project which consists of roadway improvements to North Hanover Street and Carlisle Springs Road and installation of a new traffic signal at the intersection; construction a 5-point roundabout at the intersection of North Hanover Street, West and East Penn Streets, and Fairground Avenue; and above-grade railway safety improvements to North Hanover Street and Fairground Avenue. The Delta Team was brought on by the Borough of Carlisle in 2023 to provide technical assistance for priority projects. For this project Delta was able to provide an IMPLAN impact report to quantify and project project outcomes and also provided outreach to key stakeholders for the project. The Connectivity Project is moving forward due to the Borough of Carlisle’s dedication to safety, job creation and infrastructure upgrades for residents and visitors.

Since 2021, Delta Development Group has been working with Tri County Housing in their pursuit of providing affordable housing and neighborhood revitalization. For the 2nd year in a row Delta has enjoyed spending the day golfing and sponsoring the annual Tri County Housing Golf Fundraiser. This year, the outing was held at the Sportsman Golf Couse in Susquehanna Township and the Delta team was more than happy to spend the day on the course supporting this fantastic organization.   Utilizing the skills and experience of our diverse team, Delta worked with Abington Township, Montgomery County to develop a thorough and visionary Feasibility Study for Economic Development in Abington Township (Study) to build-upon Abington Township’s record of economic success. The Study identifies demographic, socioeconomic, and industry trends that will impact future economic development efforts in the Township, identifies priority areas for future development, redevelopment, and rehabilitation, assesses how the identified areas advance economic development priorities, and includes an action and implementation strategy to advance proposed economic development efforts. A recommendation of the Study was to establish an Economic Development Corporation (EDC) to lead the way in promoting economic development efforts in the Township. Through implementation of the Study’s findings and recommendations, the Township can cultivate economic equity, sustainability, and resiliency.
On August 10, 2023, the Abington Township Board of Commissioners undertook a near-unanimous vote in favor of forming the EDC. This EDC is a non-profit organization that will give full focus and resources to revitalize the Township and its unique neighborhoods, thereby supporting existing businesses, attracting new businesses, undertaking essential community revitalization and beautification projects, and implementing the goals and objectives identified by Township stakeholders. The establishment of the Abington Township Economic Development Corporation is the first of many exciting developments resulting from the collaboration between Abington Township and Delta Development Group.
