Scarnati Announces $500,000 Funding for Bradford's Kessel Athletic Complex  

Harrisburg – State Sen. Joe Scarnati (R-25) today announced the release of $500,000 in state assistance for the construction of the Kessel Athletic Complex in the City of Bradford. 

Scarnati said the funding is being made available through the Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program, which is intended to assist in the immediate creation of quality, family-sustaining jobs. To date, $1.5 million has been released for the project, bringing the total amount of state assistance secured to $2 million.  

"I am extremely pleased to be able to announce this assistance for Bradford. This project will create construction jobs and ultimately provide new opportunities for recreation," said Scarnati.   

The funding is being released to the Bradford Office of Economic and Community Development. The Redevelopment Assistance Capital Program requires applicants to demonstrate they have secured non-state project funding as well.
