Monroeville, PA, April 8, 2025 – State Sen. Nick Pisciottano (D-Allegheny) today announced a $462,045 grant awarded to Munhall Borough for continued streetscape improvements along the Main Street Business District. The funding, provided through the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development’s (DCED) Main Street Matters program, builds on a previous $385,000 Multimodal Transportation Fund award announced by Sen. Pisciottano earlier this year for Munhall to replace sidewalks.
“This investment in Munhall’s Main Street will enhance the look, feel, and functionality of the Borough’s business district, encouraging economic growth and making our community an even better place to live, work, and visit,” said Senator Pisciottano. “Streetscape improvements may seem small, but they have a huge impact on safety, accessibility, and community pride.”
The Main Street Matters program provides critical tools to communities to build healthier, more vibrant, and welcoming environments. Eligible improvements under this initiative can include upgraded sidewalks, lighting, landscaping, signage, accessibility enhancements, and other public infrastructure upgrades – improvements that can help attract new businesses and support existing ones.
Senator Pisciottano extended his gratitude to Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis for his ongoing advocacy and support for investment in communities like Munhall.
“I want to thank Lieutenant Governor Austin Davis for being a champion of programs that make a real difference in our neighborhoods,” Pisciottano added. “Together, we’re building stronger, more connected communities across Pennsylvania.”
The grant will help ensure Munhall’s Main Street Business District remains a cornerstone of the Borough’s identity and a driver of local revitalization efforts.
