Middletown Township received a significant boost for its environmental initiatives during the Board of Supervisors meeting on June 13, 2022, as PECO announced a Green Region grant to support local open space preservation and park development.
The announcement came from a PECO representative who praised the township's commitment to environmental stewardship and acknowledged the hard work of public works employees and emergency responders. "They help us get the roads open and address customer concerns," he stated, highlighting the vital role these teams play during major storms.
Since its inception in 2004, the Green Region program has awarded over $2.6 million in grants to municipalities, enabling the preservation of more than 400 acres of open space and the creation of over 50 miles of trails. The representative emphasized the importance of these efforts, noting that more than 14,000 trees have been planted through the program.
Middletown Township has previously benefited from multiple Green Region grants, and the PECO representative encouraged continued applications to further enhance local environmental projects. "It's an excellent way to supplement the funds you provide," he remarked, reinforcing the value of collaboration between PECO and the township.
The meeting concluded with a photo opportunity to commemorate the grant, underscoring the partnership's commitment to fostering green initiatives in the community. This grant not only supports immediate projects but also sets the stage for ongoing environmental efforts in Middletown Township.
