New Links

We have added a couple of new links to the Blogroll over there on the left side of the page.  The news of the new building for Frankford Friends is being blogged at their own site.  You can keep up with the developments as they happen.  Click on Frankford Friends new building or follow this link to get a look.

Also Thanks to Tim Wisniewski, we got notice of the PSA1 meeting held last night.  I haven’t been doing my job of monitoring the 15th district web site where they have the schedule of community meetings or I would have posted it earlier.  So click on PPD 15th district or follow this link to get the most current information on any and all public meetings.

Pa. House Bill 2291

I got an email today about Pennsylvania House bill 2291 capital budget.  A few items are included of interest to Frankford residents.

  • Construction, infrastructure and other related costs for the expansion and renovation of the Aria Health Frankford Campus Emergency Room $4,800,000.
  • Construction, infrastructure and other related costs for the Frankford Friends School expansion project $750,000.
  • Construction, redevelopment, and other related costs for the Frankford Senior Living Facility $850,000.

Read the bill its fascinating as usual.

Aria Health is seeking community support for their project.  They have supplied templates for your use, should you wish to go on record with the Governor, Senator Mike Stack or Senator Tina Tartaglione as supporting the project.
