The state budget invests $282 million into nursing homes and long-term care facilities
More money for education, health departments, nursing homes, child welfare services and to continue an emergency rental and utility assistance program are bright spots in Pennsylvania s new state budget, Erie-area officials say.
So are provisions that give municipalities more flexibility when applying for grants for transportation projects.
But lawmakers also kept flat investments in mental health which has been a growing problem throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and they squirreled away much of the state s allocation from the federal American Rescue Plan.
Rep. Ryan Bizzarro, D-3rd Dist., Millcreek Township, the chairman of the House Democratic Policy Committee, said there were a lot of missed opportunities, like making an investment in broadband expansion, but that the budget could have been worse.
Construction of the county s third roundabout, in Summit Township, might be delayed.
And until construction in Springfield begins, drivers once again are blazing new trails to work and to school in Albion about six miles to the south.
Back roads are taking a beating
The latest detours aren t costing drivers much additional time, but they are taking a toll on local roads. We re tearing some of these roads up. We re beating them to death, said Glen Black, Northwestern School District s bus garage manager. They were not intended for a lot of traffic.
Six of the district s 24 bus routes have been re-routed because of the demise of the Route 215 bridge. Most buses on those routes now are using the McKee Road bridge over the interstate about 1½ miles to the west. They re also driving Stoker Road between Route 215 and McKee.
