PENNSY GRANTS FOR FREIGHT RAILROAD IMPROVEMENTS: Pennsylvania Governor Edward G. Rendell today said Pennsylvania will invest more than $8 million in its short line and regional railroad network, creating 73 new jobs, maintaining 1,490 other positions and removing over 1 million trucks from the roads. "By maintaining and improving our railroad network, we are keeping freight moving from our communities to national rail links," said Governor Rendell. "We are creating and maintaining much-needed jobs in our communities, and we are helping our environment have cleaner air by reducing the number of trucks on the road. "This is the kind of investment Pennsylvania needs to ensure that our hardworking men and women will have jobs and that businesses will get the goods they need to serve customers and grow."
$1.5 Million will go to WNYP for rail upgrades for heavy tonnage coal trains in Crawford County. Two jobs were to be created and 1000 jobs maintained by this upgrade as well as the removal of 300,000 trucks from the road.
WNYP continues to be a shining star for the Livonia, Avon and Lakeville Group.
