Ontelaunee township stormwater improvements

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) awarded Pennsylvania Department of Transportation a Formula Grant totaling $233,705 on June 5, 2025, under the Highway Planning and Construction program (CFDA 20.205). The grant funds stormwater infrastructure improvements within Ontelaunee Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania. The project deliverables include the installation of a bioretention swale and wet pond, along with associated miscellaneous construction activities designed to manage and improve stormwater systems within the township.

This award supports FHWA's broader federal-aid highway program objectives to assist states in the preservation and improvement of transportation infrastructure. The stormwater management improvements funded through this grant enhance environmental protection and infrastructure resilience by implementing green infrastructure solutions that address water quality and runoff management concerns in the project area. As the primary state transportation authority, PennDOT serves as the direct grant recipient and project implementor, collaborating with local township officials and contractors to execute the construction and installation activities.
