NorCo Snags $200,000 Workforce Housing Grant in Glendon

The Commonwealth Finance Agency,, a board comprised of four legislative and three administrative appointees, doles out gaming revenue received under Pa's Race Horse Development Act to support projects "in the public interest." It awarded $263 million for 843 projects at its May 16 meeting.  I will  tell you about grants awarded in Lehigh and Northampton County next week. One of these grants ($200,000) is for workforce housing at the former Glendon Hotel. 

The county plans to build five 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom town houses at this site. It is also seeking grants .  through Pennsylvania HOME Investment Partnership Program (HOME) and federal HOME entitlement funds.

    There is no such thing as a grant, simply money forcibly redistributed from those to earn it to those who don't.

    Hah, 5:26 PM, don't you know money grows on trees? Or the latest spin, "Well, somebody is gonna get it, why shouldn't we? Government should not build houses.

    What the hell are they doing in the housing business, just another opportunity for graft.

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
